Meet tradition through contemporary objects and tastes

Hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organised by KCDF, the festival presents a traditional-product popup market, media art, activities and performances. KCDF published its guidance on 28 October.

Start with objects you would use or activities you would like to try. Talking about who might enjoy an object, and how they might use it, can add another dimension to browsing together.

Draw a fortune card and make your own keyring

The official activity guide offers a fortune-card draw at the first-floor information desk after showing that you follow the festival’s social account. Keyring making on the second floor is limited to the first 200 participants each day.

If making a keyring is your priority, check sign-up and waiting arrangements when you arrive. Agree on a meeting point if companions will browse separately. Free general admission should not be taken as confirmation of every activity’s cost or availability.

Check opening hours and free admission

Admission is free. Opening hours are 10:00–18:00, with last entry at 17:30. All times are Korean Standard Time.

If adding a visit to a workday or travel itinerary, leave time to explore before closing. Check purchases and individual activity conditions separately with the relevant brand or organiser.

Choose your programme again before setting out

Rather than trying everything, decide which activity matters most. Build the visit around an activity if you want hands-on time, or around the market if you prefer browsing objects for everyday life.

Check the official website before travelling for detailed activity charges, sign-up deadlines and subsequent changes. Read individual activity pages alongside the general visitor information.

Application conditions

Advance information. Recheck operating changes and activity charges and sign-up conditions before visiting.

Unconfirmed information

Detailed activity charges, sign-up deadlines, queues and subsequent changes have not been established.
