The Dongnaeeupseong History Festival is Dongnae-gu’s signature festival combining history education with hands-on experiences. First launched as Chungnyeolje in 1995, the festival is now celebrating its 32nd edition. Recognized as one of Korea’s leading cultural tourism festivals, it invites visitors to experience the vivid history of 1592 through immersive programs and performances.
The festival opens with the Dongnae Magistrate Parade, a grand street procession featuring hundreds of participants. The Dongnaeseong Battle Reenactment Musical, staged at the actual site of an Imjin War battle and enhanced with media art, brings the story of Dongnae’s determined resistance vividly to life. Visitors can also join the Dongnae Three-Strand Tug-of-War, a communal event that brings people together, and enjoy contemporary hands-on activities such as an outdoor escape room and snack-making experiences.
At Dongnae Market, visitors can carry yeopjeon (traditional coins) into a recreated Joseon-era marketplace and experience daily life as a resident of the old fortress town. Blending history with the future, the festival offers a rich variety of programs and creates special memories for visitors this fall.
