Busan Festival of Traditional Folk Arts
부산종합민속예술제
This festival showcases Busan's intangible heritage and traditional folk culture through performances and participatory workshops held over two days at Busan Citizens Park. Three thematic areas structure the event: the Entertainment Court features the opening ceremony, traditional art performances from Busan and beyond, special demonstrations, and citizen participation; the Crafts Court offers workshops in intangible arts such as embroidery, traditional spinning, handmade shoes, and decorated fans, along with authentic food experiences; the Celebration Court provides traditional games, an artisan market connected with Hanbok Culture Week, a stamp rally and wish-writing activity, and the rental of traditional costumes and accessories. The festival invites visitors to experience Busan's living heritage both as spectators and active participants.

🎟️ 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.
