Meet the “King” from Two Thousand Years Ago at the 17th Hanseong Baekje Cultural Festival

September 21st (Thu.) - September 24th (Sun.) Peace Plaza, Olympic Park

Festival season is approaching. Among the various festivals held across the country, one festival you definitely don’t want to miss this fall is the Hanseong Baekje Cultural Festival. You’ll regret it all year long if you miss Seoul’s premier historic and cultural festival, which has won a variety of awards as the king of festivals both home and abroad, and is also internationally recognized for its value. In particular, this year’s Hanseong Baekje Cultural Festival offers a variety of programs over four days, with each day featuring a theme of one of four kings of Hanseong Baekje who lived through pivotal times in history. We recommended adding the Hanseong Baekje Cultural Festival to your bucket list this fall, as it will be a mysterious experience where you can experience life in another era at the festival, transformed into Hanseong Baekje period from two thousand years ago.
