6th Jeonju Street Puppet Festival 2026

The 6th Jeonju Street Puppet Festival runs October 10–11, 2026, at the Jeonju Hanok Village Puppet Theater Experience Center (65-9 Eunhaeng-ro, Wansan-gu) and Omokdae Traditional Garden (15 Taejo-ro). Jeonju City’s event listing says performances run 11:30–16:00 each day and are free for all ages, with invited puppet shows and a large-puppet street parade. Traditional-music and recycled-material puppetry and marionettes make it a family-oriented stop. A separate non-official schedule page instead says 12:30–18:00, so the city listing takes precedence and visitors should check day-of notices. Jeonju’s official pages differ on the organizer name—Kkokdu association in a press release, festival executive committee in the event listing—so the discrepancy is retained. No official attendance count, parking plan, traffic control or individual show slots were confirmed.

Why it matters now

Checked at 21:30 KST on October 10, 2026. Today's officially listed 11:30–16:00 program window has ended; the festival is scheduled to continue tomorrow, October 11. Jeonju City’s event listing gives daily hours of 11:30–16:00, the two venues and their addresses, and free all-ages admission. A city press release names the Kkokdu association as organizer, while the event listing names the festival executive committee; the difference is preserved rather than resolved by guesswork. A third-party Sarasa schedule page says 12:30–18:00 and gives individual slots, conflicting with the official listing. The city-linked program poster is image-only and could not be reliably read, so those detailed slots are not treated as verified; follow current city/on-site notices. The official Hanok Village guide lists free parking at Daeseong public lot and a shuttle from 10:00 to 19:00, with a weekend route via Omokgyo and Namcheon-gyo, but gives no frequency or festival-specific traffic controls. Confirm lot availability and any event-day changes before driving. Naver search was blocked by robots restrictions; while the festival is still in progress, three recent independent visitor reviews were not available to compare. No official visitor total or live crowd data was found, so scale is described only by its two days, two venues and announced formats.
