Seogwipo Chilsimni Festival

The Seogwipo Chilsimni Festival is Seogwipo’s signature festival, bringing together local arts and culture and citizen-participation programs against the backdrop of the city’s historic downtown and the sea. It usually takes place around the Cheonjiyeon Falls parking lot and Seogwipo’s historic downtown, with a street parade that turns the entire street into a stage, performances and busking across various genres, stages featuring local artists, food, and a flea market adding to the festive atmosphere. The parade in particular is a central program in which citizens and organizations participate together to display Seogwipo’s identity and vitality. A distinctive feature is the opportunity to experience things to see and enjoy simultaneously while walking through the historic downtown during the festival. This festival is a stage where the past, present, and future meet and a spirited celebration enjoyed by citizens and spectators as one. Visitors can create special memories at the Seogwipo Chilsimni Festival, where nature, culture, and people come together.
