2026 Suwon Cultural City Festival Schedule, Concerts, Parking — Daeyupyeong Park with Kids on Hangeul Day
For the first two days of the Hangeul Day holiday,
a neighborhood cultural festival runs from autumn afternoon into the evening 🎶
The 3rd Suwon Cultural City Festival

from 14:00~21:00
at Daeyupyeong Park and the 111CM outdoor area
behind Starfield Suwon.
Except for the market and food zone,
all programs are free.
I’ve organized the official event info
from Suwon Cultural Foundation and the Suwon City Festival Portal.
🎪 About the Festival
This year’s theme is
Hello, Our Cultural City.
It’s described as a festival
that looks back on five years of Suwon as a cultural city with its citizens
and greets a new tomorrow.
Performances, experiences, markets, and exhibitions
all come together in one place.
Suwon City and Suwon Cultural Foundation host it together.
✨ What Performances Are There and When?
Here’s a table of performances by date.
Saebit Live and 111CM Busking
are at the same times on both days.

The Bag of Tales location

There is a slight difference.

There is no official information

👨👩👧 If You’re Going with Kids
Experiences open at 14:00 and close at 19:00.
Storytelling runs twice, at 15:00 and 16:00,
so if you go early in the afternoon, you can catch both.
As the sun sets, enjoy 111CM Busking (18:00)
and ‘Hello, Concert’ (19:00).
If you’ll be there into the evening,
it’s a good idea to bring an extra jacket for your child.
Do games & crafts first during the day
and plan for the market & concert in the evening
⏳ Still to Be Announced
□ Bus/subway info
□ How to use nearby parking
□ Operation in case of rain

I’ll update this post when it’s announced.
On the same weekend, the 63rd Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival continues through the 11th across the Hwaseong area,
