Korean Confucian Culture Festival
한국유교문화축전
The 2026 festival celebrates the core values of Confucian tradition by connecting them to modern daily life under the theme "Integrity, Filial Piety, and Courtesy in My Life." From September 18–20, the site will host musical performances, exhibitions, academic forums, literary conferences, and interactive activities for children, families, and youth. Visitors can explore local Confucian cultural heritage through immersive experiences, competitions (English speech contests, calligraphy, painting), traditional art workshops (archery, tea ceremony), and culinary tastings.

🎟️ 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.
