Gangjin Jeollabyeongyeongseong Festival

About the Festival

The Jeollabyeongyeongseong Festival is a historical and cultural festival held at Jeollabyeongyeongseong Fortress, located in Byeongyeong-myeon, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do. It is based on the historical background of Byeongyeongseong Fortress, which was a military center overseeing Jeolla-do and Jeju-do during the Joseon Dynasty. The festival utilizes the actual fortress walls and historical sites of Jeollabyeongyeongseong Fortress, which was used as a military facility for approximately 500 years, allowing visitors to vividly experience the atmosphere of a Joseon Dynasty military camp. During the festival period, various programs such as traditional costume experiences, soldier training reenactments, and traditional performances are operated, allowing visitors to naturally experience the life and culture of that era. Furthermore, through events held along the fortress walls and various experiential activities, it has the character of an participatory festival where visitors can directly participate and enjoy, not just observe.
