Family Book Festival

온 가족 책 잔치

Held every autumn since 2013 at Jeongdeok Library, this reading festival celebrates books as a bridge for families and communities to connect and share. The program features library concerts, awards for reading families, creative book-related activities, traditional culture experiences, and eco-friendly workshops. Diverse themed zones run by libraries, local bookstores, and school reading clubs offer activities for all ages, including woven bookmark-making, seal-carving studios, colorful star workshops, and nacre crafting, alongside dramatized readings and peaceful reading spaces.

🎟️ 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.
