Sejong Dano Festival (세종단오제)

The Sejong Dano Festival (세종단오제) is a traditional Korean seasonal celebration held around Dano, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month — one of the country's significant folk holidays. The festival brings together ritual ceremonies, traditional performances, and hands-on cultural activities rooted in Korean customs. Visitors can observe or participate in events such as ssireum (traditional wrestling), swinging on geunettwigi (traditional swings), and the preparation of surichwitteok, a seasonal rice cake. The festival offers a grounded look at intangible folk heritage that continues to be practiced and passed down in the Sejong region.
