Jeongjo Filial Piety Culture Festival

The Jeongjo Filial Piety Culture Festival, held around Jeongjo Hyo Park, is Hwaseong Special City’s representative history and culture festival that combines historical value with family-friendly elements. Visitors can enjoy a variety of performances and traditional hands-on programs, and in particular, Hyeonryungwon Chyeonwon, which reenacts the epic story of King Jeongjo moving the tomb of his father, Prince Sado, to Yungneung in Hwaseong, a place famed as the best geomantic site in Joseon, is a representative program that symbolically shows King Jeongjo’s utmost filial devotion. In addition, on October 4, the King Jeongjo Royal Procession, which reenacts the 1795 Eulmyo Wonhaeng, departs from Dongtan Central Park and unfolds a grand procession, offering a variety of sights where tradition and modernity come together. This festival, held in Hwaseong Special City, the city of filial piety and a perfect site under heaven, will provide a special time for history, culture, and families to share together.
