23rd Seosan Haemieupseong Festival 2026
The 23rd Seosan Haemieupseong Festival runs October 9–11, 2026, around Haemieupseong Fortress in Seosan. Seosan City lists the opening ceremony at 19:00 on October 9; the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism lists hours of 17:00–22:00 on day one and 11:00–22:00 on days two and three. General entry is free, while some programs such as “600 Years’ Table” are paid. Planned programs include an opening procession, drone show, media art, classical performances and family activities. For historical scale, a TJB report republished by Seosan City says the 2025 22nd edition drew 209,000 visits over three days and offered 38 programs. Those are 2025 results, not a 2026 forecast or crowd estimate. The city tourism page’s Haemi IC driving route and intercity-bus information was last updated in 2024, so recheck transit on the travel day. Detailed temporary parking and shuttle arrangements were not found in the official pages checked.
