Cheonan World Dance Festival tickets and prices

Cheonan World Dance Festival lineup and program
The 2026 lineup of performers has not been announced or confirmed yet, so check the programme page on cheonanfestival.com for the participating troupes.
How to get to Cheonan from Seoul
The fastest route is the KTX from Seoul Station to Cheonan-Asan Station, roughly 30–40 minutes, with a taxi needed for the last leg to the Seobuk-gu venue.
KTX fares use dynamic pricing, so check the Korail booking page for the exact fare at the time you book.
The cheaper option is Subway Line 1 from Seoul to Cheonan Station, roughly 90 minutes — check the Korail or subway fare chart for the current price before you travel.
Check return train times on the Korail or subway schedule before staying for the full evening show.
What else to do around the festival
Cheonan is also the home of hodugwaja, the walnut pastry sold in boxes at the station — a standard souvenir to carry back.
If you drive, parking availability at the venue has not been confirmed, so public transit is the safer choice.
If I could only go one day, I would pick the opening day, Oct 1, because it gives the most buffer — if weather or a schedule change cuts an evening short, the remaining festival days are still there to catch.
What I check first is not the lineup but the organiser’s map and rain plan — the venue and same-day schedule can shift, and a one-minute call to +82-41-900-7021 saves a wasted trip.
