Korean festivals by train: the station and exit for each

Updated 18 October 2026 · Festivals of Korea editors

Korea's KTX and subway networks reach most of the festivals on this site; the exceptions are a handful in the mountains and on Jeju, which need a bus or a flight. The table lists the nearest useful station for each festival, the line, the exit where the organizer or city names one, and what the last leg actually involves.

Buy KTX tickets on the Korail+ app or at korail.com (English available, foreign cards accepted); ITX and Mugunghwa trains, and since 1 September 2026 the former SRT trains from Suseo, are on the same system. Subway and bus fares in Seoul and Busan are paid with a T-money or Cashbee card, sold at convenience stores.
