OVERVIEW
Overview
The Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival reimagines, through a contemporary lens, the most magnificent moments of King Jeongjo’s eight-day royal procession to Hwaseong in 1795. Historic scenes recorded in the Wonhaeng Eulmyo Jeongni Uigwe come vividly to life through high-quality cultural programs. Visitors can also take part in the King Jeongjo Royal Parade, the largest royal procession reenactment in Korea, where citizens and guests from around the world become part of the spectacle. As a leading global festival, the Suwon Hwaseong Festival offers a unique opportunity to experience the joy of a celebration that transcends time and space while bringing people together in the historic setting of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.
