FAQ
What is a heritage night festival (yahaeng)?
Evening festivals held at historic sites across Korea — old streets, palaces and fortresses open late with lantern walks, performances and hands-on programmes. Each city runs its own on set dates; the table above lists the ones in the next six weeks.
Do I need to speak Korean to join?
Many programmes are run in Korean. Where the organiser lists foreign visitors as a target audience we mark it "open to foreign visitors". Walk-around night festivals are easy to enjoy without Korean.
How do I book?
Where the organiser gives a booking or information page, the event name links to it. Free walk-in events usually need no booking; hands-on classes often have limited places.
Where does this list come from?
From the Korea Heritage Service (formerly the Cultural Heritage Administration) open event list, refreshed twice a day. English names are our translation; the Korean name under each is the official one.
