72nd Baekje Cultural Festival — Buyeo 2026

Buyeo’s 72nd Baekje Cultural Festival runs October 3-11, 2026 across downtown Buyeo, the Jeongnimsa Temple Site, Seoktap-ro and the Gwanbuk-ri archaeological site. The official opening ceremony is October 3 from 19:00-22:00 and the closing ceremony October 11 from 18:30-21:30. The 2026 program includes historical processions and performances, a themed exhibition centered on the Baekje gilt-bronze incense burner, craft and fortress/martial-arts experiences, night media-art routes and a citywide tourism layer. Individual programs keep their own hours; some outdoor experiences are weather-dependent. Live crowd conditions, foreign-language interpretation across all venues, ticket/reservation rules for every program and continuous step-free routes were not independently tested.

The current official English layer confirms the 2026 dates and core venues, although many detailed program pages are clearer in Korean.
