Bupyeong Pungmul Festival

The 30th Bupyeong Traditional Culture Festival is a vibrant and unifying event, marking its 30th anniversary as a cornerstone of traditional arts and culture, not only in Incheon but throughout South Korea. Since its inception in 1997, the Bupyeong Traditional Culture Festival has breathed life into the heart of the city, fostering a space where citizens and artists come together. The 22 "dong" (neighborhood) performance groups, the heart of the festival, have consistently created a dynamic and unifying atmosphere. This year's 30th anniversary festival, held from October 2nd to 4th, 2026, will be a particularly significant event, celebrating the traditions of the past 30 years and looking forward to a bright future. The festival will be larger and more elaborate than ever before, and will also expand its reach to the Gulpocheon area, a symbol of urban regeneration in Bupyeong, offering new and diverse content.
