2026 Saenggeo Jincheon Cultural Festival Schedule, Fireworks, Kids Station Performances, Before Visiting Baekgokcheon with Children

The representative festival of Jincheon
is held at Baekgokcheon in autumn 🎆

This is the 47th year!
The 47th Saenggeo Jincheon Cultural Festival
will be held for three days from Friday, October 9 to Sunday, October 11
at the Baekgokcheon area in Jincheon-eup.

It starts this Friday
and continues throughout the weekend.

I’ve summarized the official information from
the Saenggeo Jincheon Cultural Foundation festival website,
Jincheon-gun tourism website,
and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s local festival guide.

🎪 About the Festival

Started in 1979 as ‘Sangsan Festival’,
this is Jincheon’s representative local cultural festival
that has continued under different names.

This year’s theme is
”Everyday Life Filled with Emotion, Departure to Jincheon!”
According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the admission is free.

During the same period and at the same location,
there will also be a Lifelong Learning Festival, Local Specialty Festival,
and Health Expo.

🎆 What’s Happening on the First Day, the 9th (Fri)?

From the organizer’s schedule,
I’ve picked out family-friendly events.

The celebration concert features Park Seojin, Cheon Rokdam, So Chan-hwi,
Cha O-reum, Dodri, Choi Hongrim & Han Sooyoung,
and Yeom Yuri.

The fireworks time varies by guide.
The organizer’s website and leaflet say 20:00,
while the Jincheon-gun tourism website says 22:00.

🎤 What About the 10th (Sat) and 11th (Sun)?

🧸 Kids Performances at Dreaming Kids Station

This is a special space
where performances and play for children take place.
There are four 30-minute shows daily at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 16:00.

Two shows alternate each day.
For the 11th, the order varies by guide,
so only the names are listed.

🎨 Other Activities to Try with Kids

🍲 Food Prices

Jincheon-gun has released food stall prices
in advance and announced a campaign
to prevent overcharging.

The full price list is available on the Jincheon-gun tourism website
under ‘Food Information’.

🚌 Getting There & Parking

The address is 209-3 Eumnae-ri, Jincheon-eup,
in the Baekgokcheon area.

The festival map notes that the ‘Eup/Myeon Restaurant’ area
is used as a restaurant on day 1
and as a parking lot afterward.

👨‍👩‍👧 If Visiting with Children

Kids Station performances start at 11:00,
so you can arrive in the morning, watch a show,
and have lunch at the food stalls.

The festival map shows
kids zones, play facilities, and several restrooms.

If you plan to stay for the fireworks on the 9th,
it will be after sunset, so bring an extra layer for your child.
