Neither dates nor venue had been announced as of 18 October 2026: the city calls the 2026 move to Jangyu a one-off, but officials said a return to Jillye could not be guaranteed because apartment construction there continues into 2027. |

Notes on the 2027 edition
The 2026 dates were reported in late August 2026, so expect 2027 news in the summer of 2027.
