Hanseong Baekje Cultural Festival

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.
