Naju Yeongsangang Festival

The 2026 Naju Yeongsangang Festival is Naju's signature autumn festival, held for 5 days from October 7 to 11 around the Yeongsangang Garden. Set against the backdrop of the wide Yeongsangang River and its beautiful gardens, it's a gathering place where visitors can experience Naju's history, culture, and tourism attractions all in one spot. The festival is packed with spectacular performances, programs for citizen participation, hands-on activities for the whole family, and a variety of local Naju food. It's an overnight-worthy festival where you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the autumn garden and lively programs during the day, then take in illuminated night views and passionate performances after dark. It's a cultural tourism festival where residents and visitors come together to create special memories while spreading awareness of the Yeongsangang River's ecological value and Naju's unique charm.
