2026 Poeun Cultural Festival Schedule · Cheonjang Parade Time · Poeun School Reservation, Before Visiting Mohyeon, Yongin with Kids

A refreshing autumn weekend,
a festival where you meet a historical figure 📜

Now in its 22nd year!
The 22nd Poeun Cultural Festival
will be held for two days, October 10 (Sat)~11 (Sun),
at the Poeun Jeong Mong-ju Memorial Site
in Mohyeon-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin.

The organizer, Yongin Cultural Center,
has posted an official notice
on the Poeun Cultural Festival website,
which I’ve summarized here.

🎪 What Kind of Event Is It?

This is Yongin’s representative historical and cultural festival
that honors the scholarly virtue and loyalty
of Poeun Jeong Mong-ju, a loyalist and Neo-Confucian scholar
of the late Goryeo period.

This year marks the 620th anniversary of the Cheonjang,
when his tomb was relocated to Yongin,
so the theme is ‘Breath of Poeun－Connecting 620’.

The festival features the Cheonjang Parade reenacting the old funeral procession,
the Memorial Rite with ceremonial music and dance,
and a variety of performances, experiences, and food.

✨ What’s Happening When?

Only the programs with announced times
are listed by date below.

The Hanja for the Little Jangwon Pass
are said to be at level 8, like 木 (tree), 山 (mountain), 水 (water).

The Cheonjang Parade is the festival’s main event,
recreating the history of relocating Poeun’s tomb to Yongin.
Citizens carry banners inscribed with phrases
praising Poeun’s virtue.

The Poeun Golden Bell is held with
70% of questions announced in advance and 30% surprise questions,
according to the notice.

📜 How Does Poeun School Work?

This year is Poeun School Season 4 ‘Magic Hanja’.
It’s a family program where you play games
and complete missions to challenge magic Hanja.

The location is the Poeun School Zone inside the festival grounds.

🎨 What Experiences and Sights Are There?

Experiences: Dansim 620 Challenge (family survey & photo booth),
Goryeo & Joseon costume experience, traditional games,
traditional makgeolli brewing, pottery wheel & blacksmith experience

The RE-BORN Mission is a mission
that follows Poeun’s footsteps and completes your own guardian badge,
linked with the Cheoinsung Cultural Festival.

At the youth participation Y-Road,
there’s also a Poeun escape room mission called
’Beat the Poeun Scholars’.

Performances: Vocalist Gil Byung-min,
Percussion group Yul, Backwards Project congratulatory performance,
Yongin Cultural Center Citizen Culture College performance,
and the 11th Yongin Folk Arts Festival

Food: Food trucks,
Mohyeon-eup Saemaeul Women’s Association Food Zone

🚗 How to Get There?

The festival website’s directions
only list the address.

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization guide
states the venue as the memorial site and the Yeongil Jeong Clan Shrine area.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Going with Kids

If you go on the 10th (Sat),
you can see 11:30 Little Jangwon Pass → 13:30 Cheonjang Parade
in sequence.

Poeun School is for family teams with children ages 6 and up,
and only 30% of spots are on-site registration,
so if you haven’t reserved, it’s best to arrive early.

Since there’s Hanja dictation,
it’s a good idea to practice easy characters like 木, 山, 水 together in advance.
