About the festival

The Seosan Haemieupseong Festival is a free history festival of three or four days inside Haemieupseong, a walled Joseon-era fortress town completed in 1421 in Haemi-myeon, Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do, with royal procession re-enactments, martial-arts shows, hands-on Joseon activities and night media art on the walls. The 23rd edition ran 9–11 October 2026; the 2027 dates are not announced, but the festival is usually held in late September or early to mid October. Direct buses from Seoul Nambu Terminal reach Haemi in 1 h 35 m (₩10,300 regular, ₩13,400 deluxe), and the fortress is free to enter all year.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Seosan Haemieupseong Festival page, which covers every edition.
