What it is like
Chuncheon, the lakeside capital of Gangwon, has staged a mime festival every spring since 1989; the 2026 edition was the 38th. The organizers bill it as one of the world's three major mime festivals, alongside Mimos in France and the London mime festival, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism lists it as an Honorary Culture and Tourism Festival and as one of its Local 100. Mime is meant broadly here: alongside silent theatre there is clowning, circus, dance, aerial work and street performance by Korean and foreign companies (37 teams in 2025). The festival runs for eight days, Sunday to Sunday, and is spread across the city rather than held on one site. It starts with 아!水라장, a pun on the Korean word for pandemonium with the character for water in the middle: a free water party on a closed four-lane stretch of Jungang-ro in the city centre, where performers and spectators soak each other. It has opened the festival on Jungang-ro since 2006; 2026 was its last year there, and from 2027 it moves to the area around the festival's own venue, Festival Theatre Momjit in Hyoja-dong. Through the week there are ticketed indoor shows at Momjit, free evening mime along the Seoksacheon stream path and in Udu Park, and a touring troupe that plays schools, hospitals and tourist sites. The last weekend is the core of the festival. In 2026 a new adults-only night, Art Nanjang X, ran from 20:00 to 02:00 on the Friday, and on the Saturday Dokkaebi Nanjang (the 'goblin revel'), held since 1998, ran from 14:00 until 05:00 the next morning on the LEGOLAND Korea Resort car park on Jungdo, with more than 60 groups, movement workshops for the audience, fire installations, the final of a competition for emerging mime artists and a closing mime at dawn. Things to know: the programme and ticket pages are in Korean, and tickets are sold through Korean platforms (Mango Ticket and Naver Booking); the opening means getting wet; venues are spread out, so budget for taxis; and the overnight finale ends hours after the last train to Seoul, so plan a night in Chuncheon or wait for the first morning train.
Highlights
- 아!水라장 opening water party on a closed four-lane stretch of Jungang-ro, free (13:00–16:00 on 24 May 2026); from 2027 it moves to the Festival Theatre Momjit area
- Dokkaebi Nanjang, the overnight finale held since 1998: 60-plus groups in mime, dance, circus and aerial acts from 14:00 to 05:00, ending with a closing mime at dawn (₩25,000 in 2026)
- Art Nanjang X, an experimental night for ages 19 and over, 20:00–02:00 on the final Friday (₩20,000 in 2026)
- Indoor mime and physical-theatre shows at Festival Theatre Momjit (₩15,000 each in 2026), including a family show
- Free 'Walk and Watch Mime' on weekday evenings at 19:30 along the Seoksacheon stream path and in Udu Park
- Mime Fringe final for emerging artists (10 teams in 2026) on the Dokkaebi Nanjang stage, with a Minister of Culture award for the winner
Who it suits. Best for travellers who enjoy street theatre, circus and festival nights out, and for families on the opening water-party day; the overnight finale suits night owls who are happy to stay in Chuncheon. Less suited to anyone who wants a single compact site or English-language programme information.
Getting there
From Seoul
ITX-Cheongchun from Yongsan Station (it also calls at Cheongnyangni) to Chuncheon takes about 1 h 20 m (1 h 13 m–1 h 26 m as of October 2026) and costs ₩9,800 for a reserved seat (₩9,300 standing); as of October 2026 there were about 18 trains each way on weekdays and more on Sundays. Namchuncheon Station is the closer stop for Festival Theatre Momjit in Hyoja-dong; Chuncheon Station is the closer one for Jungang-ro and for the LEGOLAND Korea Resort car park on Jungdo, where the night events are held. The slower Gyeongchun Line (Seoul Metro) also serves both stations. Venues are spread out, so taxis are the easiest way between them.
From Busan
KTX from Busan Station to Seoul Station (about 2 h 30 m, ₩54,400 standard class since the 1 September 2026 KTX–SRT merger), then Line 1 to Yongsan and ITX-Cheongchun to Chuncheon (about 1 h 20 m, ₩9,800).
From Incheon Airport
AREX to Seoul Station, Line 1 to Yongsan, then ITX-Cheongchun to Chuncheon (about 1 h 20 m).
Last leg from Namchuncheon Station (festival theatre); Chuncheon Station (Jungang-ro and night events)
ITX-Cheongchun and Gyeongchun Line (Seoul Metro). Walking times were not published. Festival Theatre Momjit in Hyoja-dong is a short taxi ride from Namchuncheon Station; the LEGOLAND Korea Resort car park on Jungdo, used for the night events, is closest to Chuncheon Station.
Festival shuttle
No festival shuttle bus was documented for 2024–2026 in the sources opened; check mimefestival.com before the night events.
Getting home
ITX-Cheongchun trains from Chuncheon back to Yongsan take about 1 h 15 m. Weekday and Sunday times differ, so check the last train in the Korail+ app (코레일+) or at the station before you go and compare it with the end of the evening programme. The overnight Dokkaebi Nanjang runs to 05:00, so stay the night in Chuncheon or wait for the first morning train. Gyeongchun Line (Seoul Metro) trains also run to Seoul; their times were not checked.
Parking
Festival parking was not published in the sources opened. The opening closes Jungang-ro to traffic, and in 2025 and 2026 the night events were held on the LEGOLAND Korea Resort car park itself, so trains and taxis are simpler.
How to switch Naver Map and Kakao Map to English
Google Maps shows train, subway and bus routes in Korea but not walking or driving directions yet, so for the walk from the station Naver Map or Kakao Map is more reliable.
Before you go
1330 · Travel hotline
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 / 119 · Emergencies
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
T-money card
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Maps
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
Trains and buses
Book trains on Korail’s English site and express buses on Kobus. Holiday weekends sell out first.

- 101,780 visitors over the eight days in 2025. The opening Sunday on Jungang-ro and the final Saturday night of Dokkaebi Nanjang draw the biggest crowds.
- Best time to go
- The opening Sunday afternoon for the water party (13:00–16:00 in 2026), or the final Saturday for Dokkaebi Nanjang from 14:00, staying for the closing mime at 05:00. Weekday evenings suit the free street mime at 19:30 and the theatre shows.
- What to bring
- For the opening: clothes you don't mind soaking, a waterproof phone pouch and a change of clothes. For Dokkaebi Nanjang: a warm layer for the small hours, your mobile ticket and a plan for the night; photo ID for the 19+ Art Nanjang X.
2027 program
- The opening water party 아!水라장 moves from Jungang-ro to the area around Festival Theatre Momjit from 2027 (organizer statement, May 2026)
- 2026 was the second year of a three-year 'Body Landscape' (몸풍경) project, so 2027 would be its third
Not announced by the organizer as of 19 October 2026.

Before or after the festival
Places you can fit in before or after the festival without missing the shuttle or the last train or bus back.
A 174 m walkway built out over the Soyang River, 156 m of it with a toughened-glass floor, so you look down at the water. Go in the morning or early afternoon, before the evening programme or the final-Saturday Dokkaebi Nanjang (on Jungdo near Chuncheon Station in 2025 and 2026): April–September it opens 10:00–20:30, but closes on Tuesdays and in rain, snow, ice or strong-wind warnings. Tip: the ₩2,000 entry comes back as a ₩2,000 Chuncheon Sarang gift voucher.
Getting there: Short taxi ride from Chuncheon Station or the town centre; check the walking route along the river in Kakao Map before you go
- Hyoja-dong Romantic Alley (효자동낭만골목)Before or after
An old hillside quarter turned open-air gallery: murals and sculptures from the Romantic Alley art project, cat statues and characters from the picture book Cloud Bread (Guruembbang), named after a gate honouring a Joseon-era filial son. Free, always open and beside Festival Theatre Momjit, it fills the wait before a theatre show; from 2027 the opening water party also moves to this area. Tip: Dam Small Library inside is a three-storey children's library (shoes off; hours not checked).
Getting there: On foot from Festival Theatre Momjit, about 100 m; free
A downtown alley lined on both sides with dakgalbi restaurants, where Chuncheon's signature dish, chicken in a spicy marinade stir-fried at the table on an iron plate with cabbage and onion, has been served since the 1970s. Come for dinner after a show or the street mime; hours and closing days vary by restaurant, so if you are taking the ITX-Cheongchun back, check the last train in the Korail+ app (코레일+) first. Tip: on the final Saturday, eat here, then take a taxi to Dokkaebi Nanjang.
Getting there: On foot from Festival Theatre Momjit, about 800 m north into Myeongdong (walking time not checked), or a short taxi ride
Questions travelers ask
When is the Chuncheon Mime Festival 2027?
Dates have not been announced. The last four editions each ran eight days from the fourth Sunday of May (24–31 May in 2026, 25 May–1 June in 2025, 26 May–2 June in 2024), which points to 23–30 May 2027.
Is the Chuncheon Mime Festival free?
Mostly. The opening water party, the street mime and the touring troupe are free. The theatre shows at Festival Theatre Momjit and the night events, Dokkaebi Nanjang and (new in 2026) the adults-only Art Nanjang X, are ticketed, usually at about ₩15,000–25,000.
What is Dokkaebi Nanjang?
The festival's overnight finale, held since 1998 on the last Saturday: in 2026 it ran from 14:00 on 30 May to 05:00 on 31 May at the LEGOLAND Korea Resort parking lot, with 60-plus groups in mime, dance, circus and aerial acts, fire installations, the Mime Fringe final and a closing mime at dawn. It is ticketed, at the top of the festival's range (about ₩20,000–25,000).
Will I get wet at the opening?
Probably. 아!水라장 is a water party on a closed four-lane street where performers and spectators spray each other; it ran 13:00–16:00 on 24 May 2026 on Jungang-ro. From 2027 it moves to the area around Festival Theatre Momjit.
How do I get to Chuncheon from Seoul?
Take ITX-Cheongchun from Yongsan to Chuncheon or Namchuncheon: about 1 h 20 m and ₩9,800. Check the last train back from Chuncheon in the Korail+ app (코레일+) or at the station before you go.
How do I book tickets?
Paid programmes are sold through Mango Ticket and Naver Booking; in 2026 sales opened on 6 May. The ticket pages are in Korean, and whether a Korean phone number is needed was not confirmed.
Is it good for children?
Yes for most of it: the opening water party, the street mime and family theatre shows such as 'Clown BB's Handbell Theatre' (2026) suit children. Art Nanjang X is for ages 19 and over, and Dokkaebi Nanjang runs through the night.
