At a glance
Jeonju National Heritage Night returned October 2–3, 2026, across Jeonju Hanok Village and the historic center.
What to see
Light installations, performances, exhibitions, guided walks, hands-on activities, and a heritage parade connected the city’s royal, Joseon, and Later Baekje stories.
Before you go
General admission was free. Some tours and limited-capacity programs used advance reservations, so the official schedule was essential.
