Hapcheon Tripitaka Koreana Cultural Festival

대장경기록문화축제

Themed "A Floral Journey Around Hapcheon," this festival transforms the venue into a four-stage journey: departure with mascot Byeol-kkoong, intermediate stations showcasing regional attractions, a floral path lined with autumn chrysanthemums for personal memories, and a cozy camping finale. Family-friendly workshops include caricature drawing, coffee-ground magnetic decorations, mother-of-pearl keychains, chrysanthemum painting (dappo-making), soap and ceramic crafting, and calligraphy of family mottos. Chrysanthemum bonsai exhibitions and displays of award-winning entries from the National Tripitaka Koreana Art Competition provide additional visual appeal.

🎟️ 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.
