Cheongwon Life Festival 2026

Cheongwon Life Festival 2026 runs October 2–11, daily 10:00–20:00 at Miraeji Rural Theme Park in Ochang-eup, Cheongju. General adult admission is KRW 5,000; children and youth are free, and entry is free after 18:00. The official access guide directs visitors from Osong Station by bus 53 or 535 to Ochang Plaza, then by festival shuttle. Three Naver first-hand posts, whose authors report visits on October 2, 3 and 5, describe parking examples in Lots 1 and 2 and, separately, heavy entry traffic on the afternoon of October 5. These are limited personal accounts, not a guarantee of parking conditions.

Why it matters now

The festival is open through October 11. Comparing three posts by different authors: one visitor used Lot 1 on opening day, another parked in Lot 2 around 11 a.m. on October 3, while a post about arriving at 3:13 p.m. on October 5 reported many vehicles and a congested entrance. The dates and arrival times differ, so these accounts may reflect conditions at those moments; three posts cannot establish overall congestion. Allow extra time on weekends or holidays and recheck same-day parking and shuttle notices. We found no officially confirmed attendance figure in the checked official/tourism listings, so we do not quantify the festival’s scale. Use blogs for on-site impressions and parking context; prioritize official pages for schedules and fees.
