The 2026 Gunsan Time Travel Festival is scheduled to run for four days, from October 2nd to 5th, in the Gunsan Time Travel Village area. Marking its 14th anniversary, this festival is set against the backdrop of Gunsan's modern history and culture, featuring a variety of programs around the old city hall square and the modern history street. A key characteristic is the use of Gunsan's old downtown, rich in modern cultural heritage, as the actual festival venue, allowing visitors to directly participate and experience history.
During the festival, popular artists such as Lyn, HIKY, Shin Ye-young, Jeong Seo-ju, and Yada will perform at the Time Travel Concert. Experiential programs with an independence movement theme, including the 1919 Taegeukgi Hoisting Operation, the Mission to Protect the Declaration of Independence, and Becoming an Independence Fighter, are also prepared. Additionally, there are various attractions like modern costume experiences, the Time Traveler's Secret Passport Mission, and the "We Are All 3·5 Manse" march from October 3rd to 5th. The Gunsan Port Night Pier Concours will also be held on the evening of October 4th.
Bloggers who visited the festival expressed satisfaction with the unexpected discovery of abundant attractions, including fireworks, a seafood night market, and night openings of modern cultural spaces. They noted that parking was easy due to the spacious Gunsan Modern History Museum parking lot and that a bread festival was also held, offering diverse food options. Tips were shared to check traffic controls, parking areas, and shuttle bus routes in advance for a smoother festival experience.
