Festivals in Korea
From cherry blossoms in spring to lantern and fireworks festivals in autumn, almost every city in Korea runs its own seasonal festival, and most are free to enter. Listings here come from the Korea Tourism Organization and are refreshed several times a day. Check the dates carefully: many regional festivals last only a weekend.
