TOP 58 Festivals in & from Seoul, Korea (2025)
Korea, being a country of four distinct seasons (spring, summer, autumn & winter), well-known music scene and strong cultural background held many interesting festivals throughout the year.
Many travellers plan their trips to attend their favourite festivals (e.g. cherry blossoms ❀) in Seoul and other parts of Korea. For those whom have booked your trip in advance, it is always worthwhile to check if any of these annual festivals fall on your travel dates, making your trip a memorable one with the festive surprises.




KoreaToDo has shortlisted the best and must-see festivals you should not miss in Seoul and around.
TIPS: Some of these festivals (e.g. winter festivals ❄) are further away from Seoul and could be time-consuming to reach by public transport on a day trip. It might be best to join the local tours or shuttle bus services to such venues.
