Joint Reenactment of King Jeongjo's Royal Procession to the Royal Tomb

An 8-day happiness shared with the people, coming close as a festival for citizens. The grandest festival in Joseon history, a journey shared by the people and a sage king! Following the route of King Jeongjo's royal procession in 2026, we reflect on Jeongjo's intent as recorded in the Wonhaeng Eulmyojeongni Uigwe. In 1795, King Jeongjo traveled to Suwon Hwaseong to commemorate the 60th birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong Hong. Jeongjo's 8-day journey was not merely the movement of a king, but a historic event in which joyful memories were shared with the people. Jeongjo's spirit of loving the people was recorded in the Wonhaeng Eulmyojeongni Uigwe and widely distributed. In 2026, the spirit of King Jeongjo is inherited, and the happy memories of the people are recreated as the happy memories of citizens. The Joint Reenactment of King Jeongjo's Royal Procession to the Royal Tomb is a festival in which Seoul Metropolitan Government, Gyeonggi Province, Suwon City, and Hwaseong City cooperate to splendidly recreate the original form of the Eulmyo-year trip to Hwaseong for the present day.
