About

About this site

Korea Travel & Festival Guide covers festivals and attractions in Korea for international visitors in Korean, English, Japanese, Spanish and Thai (some guides are also available in Chinese and Vietnamese). It is an independent, unofficial site and is not affiliated with the Korean government or the Korea Tourism Organization.

How we make our guides

• We start from public data published by the Korea Tourism Organization (TourAPI) and the Seoul Open Data Plaza.
• Before writing, we check dates and operating status against official websites and notices, and we do not cover events that have been announced as suspended or cancelled.
• We use AI to write drafts and to translate them.
• Every guide goes through automated checks before publishing: if a translation contains a price, phone number or web address that is not in the original, it is translated again, and photo sources are credited.

When information changes

Dates and prices can change at the organizers’ discretion. Please check the official website linked in each guide before you go. We don’t delete guides to past events; instead, we mark them as ended at the top. Each guide shows when it was published and last updated.

Photo and data sources

Photos and information come from materials released by the Korea Tourism Organization and the Seoul Metropolitan Government under the Korea Open Government License (KOGL). Sources and license types are credited at the end of each guide.
