During the fall season, there are a lot of festivals in South Korea. There is something for everyone, no matter your age group. Some festivals include activities for the visitors, while others are more laid-back, and you can view the attractions in a relaxed manner.

The weather in South Korea is also pleasant during the fall months, making it an ideal time to visit for foreign travelers.

One festival has a large number of paper lanterns and LED sculptures. Another one is a haven for book lovers. There is also a carnival with several activities for all ages. Next is a festival where hundreds of fireworks are launched. Then, there is the popular Seoul Dance festival, with performances from all over Korea. The Daejeon Saturday Festival even has online attractions!

Upcoming Fall Festivals in Korea

Seoul Lantern Festival (11.26.2021 to 12.12.2021)

In June 2012, the city joined the International Organization of Booktowns (IOB) to participate in international events. The IOB is a group of 16 book towns from 13 nations.
