Geumcheon Siheung Royal Palace Cultural Festival
금천시흥행궁문화제
This historic cultural festival celebrates Geumcheon's identity and artistic heritage. The 2026 edition features three main components: "The Royal Feast," expressing the excitement of awaiting the royal procession; a reenactment of King Jeongjo's royal cortege visiting his father Sado-Sejong's mausoleum, coordinated with Seoul city authorities; and "Siheung Royal Palace Night," a signature program featuring traditional gugak music reflecting King Jeongjo's compassionate spirit. All performances and experiences are designed for communal enjoyment by residents.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site
- 1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
- 2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
- 3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.

Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.
💡 Good to know
When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
