수원남문시장 「불취무귀」 야시장

Inspired by King Jeongjo's famous saying "Do not become intoxicated, do not lose your way", this night festival transforms the Paldalmun South Market into an immersive celebration blending gastronomy, music, and performances. Visitors stroll past food trucks, artisan stalls, and galleries while participating in interactive games rooted in the festival's universe: duels with Taoist characters, treasure hunts for hidden talismans, and magic sealing challenges. Held on September 5 and 19, 2026, the festival creates a complete experience where Suwon's royal history merges with contemporary street food pleasures and photo opportunities.

🎟️ 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.
