Hanam Iseongsan Fortress Culture Festival

하남이성산성문화제

Following the rhythm of the yogo, the oldest percussion instrument ever discovered in Korea, unearthed at Iseongsan Fortress, this festival celebrates Hanam's thousand-year history with a contemporary perspective. Themed "Beating Hanam's Future," the event transforms heritage into a living experience, connecting the fortress site with Misa Lake Park. Visitors enjoy historical concerts with Choi Tae-sung, diverse musical performances, hands-on workshops including artifact excavation and yogo-making, plus guided tours and narrative bus rides exploring Hanam's stories. Citizens and tourists gather to celebrate the region's past and future together.

🎟️ 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.
