한강수계 걷기행사

This walking festival celebrates the Hangang waterway across three key locations: Gapyeong, Pocheon, and Chuncheon. Each route combines trekking with region-specific cultural programs that highlight local nature and ecology. Participants experience three stages: Jara Island at Music Station 1939 in Gapyeong (September 19), the Hantangang UNESCO Geopark in Pocheon with geology lectures and garden festival activities (October 10), and Hajungdo along the Soyang and Bukhangang in Chuncheon (November 7). Carbon-neutral missions and healing programs enrich each experience.

🎟️ 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.
4
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.
