2026 Jindo-gun Bobaeseom Culture and Arts Festival Schedule · Ganggangsullae · Parking, Before Visiting Cheolma Square with Kids

Three lively days are coming to Bobaeseom, Jindo 🥁

The 2026 Jindo-gun Bobaeseom Culture and Arts Festival will be held for three days from October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun) at the Cheolma Square area in Jindo-eup.

This year’s slogan is: ‘Let’s go to Jindo, show off your excitement and talent!’

I’ve organized the official Jindo-gun announcement from September 29, the attached guide images, and the county event calendar.

🎪 What Kind of Event Is This?

The Bobaeseom Culture and Arts Festival brings together Jindo’s folk arts and performances by local artists all in one place.

According to the Jindo-gun tourism website, the festival is held every October to November to preserve and promote cultural and artistic resources and to foster cultural development.

Jindo-gun hosts the event, and it is organized by the Jindo Branch of the Korean Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations.

✨ What Happens Each Day?

Here is the timetable from the guide image attached to the county announcement.

For all three days, 13:00~18:00, there will be six types of Jindo culture and arts hands-on activities.

Friday, October 9

Saturday, October 10

Sunday, October 11

The county announcement lists the Silver Song Festival as starting ‘from 18:00’, while the county event calendar says the first day’s start is 13:30.

The ending time for the night event also varies between 20:30 and 20:50 depending on the guide image.

🌙 Night of the 10th, What Is the Folk Culture Night?

The K-Folk Culture Night, running from afternoon into the night on the second day, is the main program of this year’s festival.

It opens with a calligraphy performance by artist Cheongin Seogera, followed by a joint Arirang performance by Jindo, Miryang, and Jeongseon, a Ganggangsullae Grand Event with over 300 participants, and the Jindo Nagase Parade where locals and visitors join together.

After that, there will be a performance by invited singer Nam Sang-il, a three-style drum performance, Jindo Ssitgimgut, and the night will end with a Ganggangsullae Unity Play involving both participants and the audience.

🎭 Saturday Folk Journey Also at the Square

The regular Saturday Folk Journey performance, usually held every Saturday at 14:00 at the Jindo Local Culture Center Grand Theater, will take place at Cheolma Square on the 10th (according to the county event calendar).

This is the 1112th ‘Bobaeseom Culture and Arts Festival’ stage listed in the October guide.

The Saturday Folk Journey regular performance is listed as free admission. The order of performances may change depending on circumstances.

🎨 Experiences and Food?

During the festival, various cultural and arts experience programs and food trucks will be available.

The six types of hands-on activities will be held every day from 13:00~18:00. The specific activities have not been announced yet.

🚇 Getting There · Parking

The event will be held at the Cheolma Square area in Jindo-eup. The county event calendar lists it as ‘Cheolma Square and Nammun-ro area.’

Cheolma Square does not appear separately on Naver Maps, so the map below is based on Cheolma Park (17 Cheolma-gil, Jindo-eup).

There is no information yet on parking lots, shuttles, or traffic control in the county announcement or guide images.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Going with Kids

Since the hands-on activities are held every afternoon for all three days, you can enjoy both performances and experiences if you visit during the day.

The Nagase Parade and Ganggangsullae Unity Play, where the audience can participate, are concentrated in the Saturday night event.

On the second day, the stage continues from the Saturday Folk Journey through the night event, so it’s a good idea to bring snacks and an extra layer for your child.
