FAQ

What’s on in Incheon this weekend?

Bupyeong Pungmul Festival (부평풍물대축제) (Oct 2 – Oct 4); Soraepogu Festival (소래포구 축제) (Oct 2 – Oct 4); Oh Slow Vintage Market (오슬로우 빈티지 마켓) (Oct 24 – Oct 25) — from the Korea Tourism Organization’s festival listings. The news list below the festivals adds pop-ups and openings.

How do you pick the news items?

A web search collects reports from the last 45 days; we keep an item only if its source link opens and has a publication date, and show it with that outlet and date. We do not rank or endorse places.

How old is the visitor data?

It is the latest week the Korea Tourism Organization has published — usually about a month behind — so it shows where foreign visitors have been going, not today’s crowds.

Sources: Korea Tourism Organization festival data (TourAPI), big-data visitor counts (SK Telecom mobile data) and district destination rankings (Tmap navigation), all via data.go.kr; news items are linked to the outlet that reported them. Page rebuilt 2026-10-01.
