Past festival: KTO's 2026 Gangwon regional guide lists the Hwache Village foliage festival at the Seorakdong C-zone parking area (324-1 Seorakdong, Sokcho) on October 24–25. The listing introduces the mountain foliage and village festival and gives 033-639-2770 as the event contact.
Can you attend now? As of October 27, this festival edition is labeled ended. Its activity booths and performances should not be presented as ongoing. The possibility of seeing autumn leaves or visiting Seoraksan National Park is a separate question from whether the festival operates.
Before a later visit: Check current trail restrictions, weather and parking notices from the relevant authorities. Look for a new Sokcho City announcement for any future edition; the past event page does not guarantee access or booking today.
