Sejong Hangeul Festival

It has been held since 2013 based on the spirit of the creation of Hangeul, the outstanding achievement of King Sejong the Great, and in 2025 the name was changed from 'Sejong Festival' to 'Sejong Hangeul Festival.' It is operated as a festival that anyone can empathize with and enjoy beyond generations and nationalities through performances, exhibitions, and experience programs that modernly reinterpret the beauty and creativity of Hangeul. It creates a venue for a festival where the passion of artists, the smiles of citizens, and the excitement of tourists come together, and presents diverse content in which Hangeul becomes art and play. In addition, through festival programs that blend tradition and modernity, it is growing into a differentiated cultural tourism festival unique to Sejong City, where the charm of Hangeul and the spirit of King Sejong the Great can be experienced in a park in the city center.
