Getting there

About

Chilgok was the last line of defense in the 1950 Battle of the Nakdong River, and this festival — the 13th — honors that history under the slogan 'a boy becomes a boy soldier', spotlighting the young student-soldiers often left out of the heroic narrative. Peace-themed performances, participatory programs, and food zones fill the Chilgokbo eco-park, co-organized with the Second Operations Command. Free (some programs paid), 10:00–22:00.
