Miryang Arirang Grand Festival

About the Festival

*The food court content below is from the previous year's (2025) festival, and the 2026 festival content is currently being updated.* Miryang Arirang Grand Festival is held to inherit and develop Miryang Arirang, which was listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2012. Starting as the Miryang Culture Festival in 1957, it has established itself as a representative local festival of Gyeongsangnam-do, featuring the Miryang Arirang Contest, Arirang experiences, and various traditional culture experiences. The highlight of the Miryang Arirang Grand Festival, "Miryanggang Odyssey," is a fantasy musical created by combining Miryang's history, spanning thousands of years, with Miryang Arirang. It captivates audiences with its dazzling performances, beautiful music, and engaging storytelling.
