Korea Festivals in September 2026

175 festivals with confirmed dates · updated daily from official tourism 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.
