2026 Pungnyu Manhyujeong Schedule, Hours, Lineup, Parking – Before Visiting Andong Manhyujeong at Night with Kids

On autumn nights, Andong Manhyujeong lights up its lanterns and opens its doors 🏮

Pungnyu Manhyujeong is held at Andong Gilan-myeon Manhyujeong Garden every Saturday from October 3 to 24, 17:30 to 19:30.

This is part of the 2026 Vivid National Heritage Project, ‘Manhyujeong Alive Again’, hosted by the National Heritage Administration, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Andong-si.

I’ve summarized the official press release from Andong-si (September 29) and the event poster.

🎉 Happening Now

The first night was on October 3, and the remaining dates are the 10th, 17th, and 24th—three more Saturdays.

The poster lists the busking performers by date. I’ve gathered only the remaining dates in a table.

For the first night (3rd), Jinggeomdari and Lee Changro were listed as performers.

The poster mentions that there will be even more diverse performances beyond those introduced on stage.

Manhyujeong is a pavilion built by the Joseon mid-dynasty scholar Bobaekdang Kim Gyehaeng.

With its pavilion, valley, waterfall, and forest scenery, it was designated as Scenic Site ‘Andong Manhyujeong Garden’ in 2011.

Although the garden was damaged by a wildfire last year, the main pavilion was preserved.

This year’s slogan is Manhyujeong Blooming Again, ‘A Vivid Heritage We Create’. The night program introduces the restoration process and stories of its history and culture.

✨ What Can You Do?

Normally, Manhyujeong closes at sunset. Only on these four Saturdays does it open at night under lights and hanji lanterns.

There are four programs listed in the press release:

The press release highlights the Old House Moonlight Concert as the main event. Anyone, including foreigners, can participate.

🚗 Getting There & Parking

Manhyujeong is located in Mukgye-ri, Gilan-myeon, Andong-si.

According to Naver Place Manhyujeong info (checked October 8), please park at the Manhyujeong Parking Lot. Parking is not allowed inside the village or near the information center except for emergency vehicles.

Here are the operating hours listed in the same guide:

There is no official information about public transport or shuttles.

👨‍👩‍👧 For Families with Kids

Hanji lantern making is a hands-on activity you can do with your child. The program introduces it as a way to light up the night path with the lanterns you make.

There are also performances where you can listen up close to traditional Korean music like daegeum, haegeum, and sijo singing.

Since the evening program runs from 17:30 to 19:30, it’s a good idea to bring an extra jacket for your child.

⏳ Still To Be Announced

□ Admission fee / advance reservation
□ Number of participants & materials for hanji lantern making
□ Start times for each program
□ Operation in case of rain
□ Public transport / shuttle

These are not yet in the official information.
I will update this post when they are announced.
