Why go

Gongju Seokjangri Paleolithic Festival uses Korea's Seokjang-ri Paleolithic site — one of the country's most significant prehistoric excavation areas, with a long history of stone-tool finds — as the stage for a hands-on Paleolithic experience festival. Programs include stone-tool making, fire starting, archery with replica weapons, prehistoric hunting reenactments, archaeologist talks, and family-friendly experience zones. Compared to Yeoncheon's Paleolithic festival in the north, Gongju's version anchors the southern site of the same Korean prehistoric story. For travelers serious about Korean prehistory or treating Gongju as a Baekje heritage anchor (Gongsanseong, royal tombs), the festival adds one more genuine ancient-world layer to the trip.
