Gangwon
Jeongseon Arirang Festival (정선아리랑제)
Why go: Limited-time festival — plan around the dates

2026 계촌 클래식 축제 · © KTO · KOGL Type 3
Held in Gyechon Village in Gangwon Province, the Gyechon Classic Festival brings orchestral and chamber music performances to a rural mountain setting. The festival draws both domestic and international classical music enthusiasts who come for the contrast of world-class repertoire staged against Gangwon's natural landscape. Outdoor and indoor venues across the village create an intimate atmosphere distinct from urban concert halls. Visitors can explore the surrounding countryside between performances, making the event as much a regional travel experience as a musical one. The 2026 edition continues the festival's tradition of connecting classical music audiences with one of Korea's most scenic provinces.
