Yeoncheon Paleolithic Festival (연천구석기축제)

The Yeoncheon Paleolithic Festival is a hands-on prehistoric culture festival held at the Jeongok-ri Prehistoric Site in Yeoncheon, where some of the earliest humans on the Korean Peninsula once lived. The site is world-renowned for the discovery of Acheulean hand axes, evidence that highly advanced Paleolithic people inhabited Korea some 300,000 years ago. Once a year, Jeongok-ri becomes a gathering place for prehistoric cultures from around the world, inviting modern visitors to step into the world of early human life through a wide range of immersive experiences. Rooted in the historical significance of the Jeongok-ri Prehistoric Site, the festival promotes harmony between cultural heritage and the public, strengthens the region’s identity, and demonstrates how archaeological sites can be actively preserved while being brought to life.
