The festival runs October 3–5, 2026 around the Chuncheon Animation Museum, with the official site listing daily festival hours of 11:00–17:00. A September 28 official notice offers a festival-period combined ticket for the Animation Museum and Toy Robot Museum at a flat KRW 5,000 for October 3–5; that notice describes the museum combination ticket and should not be read as proof that every outdoor festival area requires the same ticket. Selected performances and film screenings use advance registration and can close when capacity is reached: October 3 includes a Choi Hyun-woo magic show at 14:20 and a Hello Carbot film at 16:30; October 4 lists Bebefinn concerts at 11:00 and 15:30 plus a Hello Carbot film at 16:30; October 5 lists Go Go Dino sing-along shows at 11:00 and 15:30. General festival admission rules outside the museum ticket, live remaining capacity, foreign-language support, overseas booking usability, public-transport routing and step-free circulation were not independently tested.
