What's On
Korea runs on a festival calendar — lanterns in spring, fireworks over Busan in autumn, village markets that appear for one week and vanish. We keep this page to the events our team would actually route an itinerary around, for the months ahead.
September 2026
Sep 18 – Nov 1, 2026
Icheon · Yeoju · Gwangju · Gyeonggi-do
This biennale spreads exhibitions and educational programmes across Gyeonggi's ceramic towns of Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju. Visitors can view contemporary and traditional ceramic works and take part in pottery-related activities across multiple venues.
November 2026
Nov 5 – Nov 7, 2026
Jeju Olle Trail · Jeju
Held each November when Jeju's landscapes are at their best, this three-day event invites participants to walk the island's Olle coastal and rural trails. Along the way, walkers encounter concerts by the sea, traditional Jeju performances, village activities, and local dishes made from regional produce and seafood. It draws roughly 10,000 walkers annually, including a growing number from abroad.
January 2027
Jan 9 – Jan 31, 2027
Hwacheoncheon Stream · Gangwon-do
Each January, the frozen Hwacheoncheon Stream in Gangwon-do hosts one of Korea's best-known winter events, recognized by CNN as one of its Seven Wonders of Winter. Visitors drill holes in the ice to fish for sancheoneo (mountain trout), which can be eaten on-site as sashimi or grilled. Additional activities include ice and snow sledding, making it a full-day outing that draws over a million visitors annually.
