Festival Highlights
- Based on Sejong Buddhist Nakhwabop
- Modern reinterpretation of traditional culture
The Sejong Nakhwa Festival is a festival that reinterprets traditional culture in a modern way, based on our city's intangible heritage, 'Sejong Buddhist Nakhwabop (designated on Feb 13, 2024)'. It is a special night tourism festival where the nature of the urban lake park harmonizes with the cityscape. When Nakhwabongs (fire rods) are hung on branches, poles, or ropes and lit, the embers scatter like petals with crackling sounds, beautifully coloring the night forest. Nakhwa originates from our unique traditional ritual performed during Buddhist Lantern Festivals, Jeongwol Daeboreum (First Full Moon Day), Dano (Spring Festival), and Chilwol Boreum (July Full Moon Day) to ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune. You can enjoy the scene of embers scattering from Nakhwabongs hung on pine trees by 'bul-meong' (fire gazing) in one spot, or by walking along the park's trails, enjoying it in various ways.
The main program is watching the Nakhwa performance using Nakhwabongs and natural objects (shrubs) (approx. 2 hours). For food, a Four-wheeled Restaurant (Food Truck) will be operated.
It will be held at Sejong Lake Park and Sejong Central Park. The address is 60 Jungang Park-ro, Sejong Special Self-Governing City (Sejong-dong).
Admission is free.
It will be held on May 16, 2026.
