Maple Forest Path Healing Festival

단풍나무숲길 힐링축제

Running mid-October through mid-November along a 3.2-km forest path ablaze with thousands of maples, this festival blends autumn's natural beauty with historical significance. Stroll the healing trails and enjoy diverse cultural performances on weekends. After dark, experience media art projections illuminating the Gyerae Tower and special lighting commemorating the 150th anniversary of Kim Gu's birth. Guided evening tours of the Colonial Government-General ruins site deepen the experience, creating a multi-generational retreat that combines nature, history, and wellness.

🎟️ 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.
