🎪 About the Festival

It’s Dalseong-gun’s signature children’s festival.
Following editions in May and September,
this is the third one this year.
This year’s theme is
”A day when children’s imagination comes true,
Fantasia Land.”
Dalseong-gun hosts it,
and the Dalseong Cultural Foundation’s
Dalseong Culture City Center organizes it.
The hands-on programs are planned and run
by the culture activists
of Dalseong, a designated Culture City.
Each area of Dalseong-gun and local groups
prepare the activities, and local performance teams
also take the stage.
Dalseong-gun presented this festival
as part of its goal of being
”a great city for raising children.”
🗓️ Special Stages by Day
The official poster shows
a special stage for each day.

The press release introduces Lee Eun-gyeol

👨👩👧 If You’re Going with Kids
The festival starts at 13:00
and ends at 17:00 — four hours in all.
Huigeukinjeu is on Saturday
and Lee Eun-gyeol on Sunday,
so pick your day by the stage you want to see.
With so many active games like
the courage challenge and circus zone,
comfortable clothes are a good idea.
"some program times may vary."
Once the stage schedule is out,
check the time of the show you want first.
