On a breezy autumn weekend,
a festival created by local hobby clubs is coming 🎶

2026 Daegu Living Culture Festival
’Living Culture Open House’
will be held for two days,
October 10 (Sat)~11 (Sun),
from 12:00 to 18:00
at the Daegu Living Culture Center and Hwarang Park
in Manchon-dong, Suseong-gu.

This post summarizes
the official announcement from the Daegu Living Culture Center (posted September 28)
and the Fantasia Daegu Festa festival guide.

🎪 About the Festival

This year’s theme is
’One Step Closer to Everyday Culture.’

It’s a festival for living culture hobby clubs
who enjoy instruments, singing, and dance as hobbies.
You can watch the performances they’ve prepared,
try hands-on activities, and even discover a new hobby.

Hosted and organized by Daegu Metropolitan City and the Daegu Foundation for Arts and Culture.
It’s one of ten festivals grouped under
the ‘Fantasia Daegu Festa Autumn Festival’
(October 2~21).

You can freely move between
the indoor center and the outdoor park.

✨ What’s Happening Where?

The program is the same on both days.
Here’s a table by location:

The ‘Living Culture Blue Marble Game’
is a game where you roll a giant die
to learn about local living culture spaces.

During the same two days,
the ‘Our Neighborhood Living Culture Week’
will also be held as a side event.
Ten places, including workshops and media centers
that participated in the Living Culture Promotion Support Project,
will run their own activity programs.

🎵 Who’s Performing on Stage?

31 club teams selected through an open call in August
will perform on stage.

Looking at the team names, there are many
clubs for ocarina, harmonica, daegeum, janggu,
saxophone, pan flute, handpan, accordion, and acoustic guitar.

There are also bands, choirs,
belly dance, ballet, and line dance teams.
A local newspaper article also mentioned poetry recitation.

The exact performance times for each team
have not been announced yet.

🚇 Getting There & Parking

The event address is

(Daegu Living Culture Center).
Hwarang Park is right next door
at 151 Manchon-ro, a neighborhood park.

There is no official information yet
on parking or public transportation.
If it becomes available, I’ll update it here.

During the Fantasia Daegu Festa,
Daegu City announced an event
where you can visit the festival by public transport
and get certified in the ‘Take Public Transport to Fantasia Daegu Festa’ event.

👨‍👩‍👧 For Families with Kids

If you’re visiting with children,
start with the Hwarang Park Play Zone outside.
The official guide describes it as
’an interactive space for families and children.’

At the activity booths, kids can get face painting,
make small instruments, or decorate a fan.
Then head indoors to enjoy the performances.

The photo booth in the center’s 1F lobby
offers free photo taking and printing,
perfect for a family photo keepsake.

There’s also a ‘Space Passport Stamp Tour’
where you can scan QR codes at festival sites
to certify your visit.
