About

Haman's festival of Aragaya — the ancient Gaya confederacy kingdom whose royal tombs crown the UNESCO-listed Marisan mounds. Reenactments bring the kingdom to life: a royal procession, gate-guard changing ceremony, and mounted-warrior experiences, alongside history trails, youth-produced performances, and a fireworks-backed theme show, 'Ara Red Lotus'. Held at the Haman Museum and tomb park, 09:00–21:00, free — one of the best windows into Korea's less-told Gaya history.

Description translated from official Korean tourism data. Details can change — verify with the organizer before you go.
