The Taehwagang riverbank in Ulsan's Nam-gu will host a two-day event devoted to books and publishing. The Nam-gu announcement syndicated on the official Ulsan metropolitan library portal schedules the 2026 Book Whale Fair for Saturday and Sunday, November 14–15, from 11:00 to 17:00 each day, with an opening ceremony at 13:30 on Saturday. The slogan is 'Open a Book, Broaden Your World'.
The official description calls it a book fair involving publishers, booksellers and other reading-culture groups. Planned activities include books on display and for sale, an outdoor library, author talks, performances and hands-on programmes. Ulsan Shinmun is listed as organiser, with the Nam-gu Culture and Arts division as the point of contact. The event offers a chance to browse new publications and talk about books beyond the usual bookstore experience.
The location is described as the Nam-gu side of the Taehwagang riverbank, rather than one exact street address. Check the city's updated site map or on-site signs before heading out; do not assume every part of the river park is the venue. Outdoor events may also be affected by weather and access changes.
The announcement explicitly says a detailed leaflet for authors, performances and other programme times will be posted later. Fees, capacity limits and advance registration for individual activities were not established. Book purchases and any optional experiences may cost extra, so do not assume everything is free.
