About this guide

Festivals of Korea is an independent English guide to festivals in Korea — dates, prices and how to get there — made for people planning a trip from abroad. It is not run by a tourism board or an organizer, and it earns money from clearly labelled work for organizers, never from editing the facts.

How a festival page is made

Every page starts from the organizer's own notices and the municipal or Korea Tourism Organization listing for that festival, in Korean where the Korean page says more. We record the dates, hours, prices, venue, nearest station and booking rules with the URL that supports each one, then write the page for someone who has never been to Korea.

Each fact on a page can be traced to the sources listed at the bottom of that page. Where a fact comes only from a blog or a visitor report, the source is marked as a blog and the price or time carries a note saying so.

Confirmed, expected and TBA

Dates are labelled by how they are known. Confirmed dates come from an official announcement for that year. Expected windows are derived from the last three editions and the month the organizer usually announces. TBA means the pattern is not stable enough to predict. We never present last year's dates as this year's, and expected windows are never placed in the structured data that search engines and AI assistants read. Read the full dating rules.

The verification seal

Facts checked
16 October 2026, against the sources listed below.

The red seal on each page shows the date the record was last checked against its sources. A page refresh or a design change never updates that date; only a review of the facts does.

What we do not know

If a price, a shuttle timetable or an accessibility arrangement could not be confirmed, the page says so in its "What we could not confirm" list rather than guessing or filling the gap with a disclaimer. We would rather publish a blank than a wrong number.

Advertising and independence

We offer English visitor-information production and clearly labelled promotion to festival organizers, municipalities and tourism foundations. Payment does not buy a verification seal, the removal of a correction or an undisclosed recommendation; basic factual coverage of a festival does not depend on whether its organizer is a client. Sponsored content is labelled where it appears and outbound sponsored links carry rel="sponsored".

Corrections

Send the page link, the fact in question and an official source through the correction form. We review within a week and record the change in the page's change log.
