Korea in September 2027

0 festivals with confirmed dates · exhibitions and performances · updated daily from official data

September is when the festival calendar erupts. The heat breaks, the harvest begins, and heritage night tours, gugak stages, and riverside fireworks fill nearly every weekend — often around Chuseok, Korea's harvest holiday, when palaces run special programs. One of the two best months to visit, and it is not close.
