The Korean Folk Art Festival aims to encourage visitors to discover and preserve Korea’s traditional folk art while fostering the public’s awareness of traditional culture. The special characteristic of this festival is that a different city hosts the event every year to showcase talents from cities around the country. The festival features many intangible cultural heritages of Korea.

Seoul Over Chuseok 2026: What's On, What's Free, and What's Better Than an Empty Restaurant
Chuseok holidays are 24–26 September 2026. Seoul does not shut entirely — here is a shortlist from the live calendar for 19–27 September, with free/paid notes, one gotcha each, and links out if you would rather leave town. Checked 18 September 2026.
Andong Mask Dance Festival 2026: It Opens on Chuseok Eve, the Station Moved, and Half of It Is Free
The Andong Mask Dance Festival runs 24 September to 4 October 2026 across the old station grounds in the city centre and Hahoe Village. The gate ticket is 8,000 won and comes with a 2,000 won coupon; the street parade and Hahoe's daily mask dance cost nothing. Seoul is two and a half hours by bus, 24,400 won, but the first three days are the Chuseok holiday. Checked on the city's and the operators' pages, 18 September 2026.
