3rd Daejeon Jung-gu Book Festival 2026

The October 10–11 main edition of the 3rd Daejeon Jung-gu Book Festival is at Woorideul Park in Daeheung-dong, not the September Seonridan-gil pre-program area. Jung-gu’s official notice lists experience-program hours as 14:00–19:00 Saturday and 11:00–16:00 Sunday, with free-to-KRW 3,000 activities and a rain fallback to Jung-gu Office. Separate stage programs may use different times.

Why it matters now

It is a walkable old-downtown weekend event combining books, performances and family activities around Woorideul Park. The venue correction matters because September’s Seonridan-gil outdoor-library program and October’s main festival are different phases.

A public square and performance space in Daeheung-dong, Jung-gu, within Daejeon’s old-downtown cultural and shopping area. Jung-gu identifies it as part of the Daeheung-dong commercial/cultural cluster and uses it for public performances and events.
