Gwangju and Jeonnam Offer Diverse Chuseok Holiday Events and Festivals for Families

During the 2026 Chuseok holiday, Gwangju and Jeonnam are offering a variety of events and festivals designed for families. These programs provide opportunities for local residents and visitors to enjoy the festive atmosphere and spend quality time with children, especially for those unable to travel far during the short holiday period. The ACC Children's Culture Center, in particular, is hosting the '2026 Children's Culture Center Chuseok Festival <Full Moon Asia>', featuring free experiences and performances.

Key events include free activities at the ACC Children's Culture Center such as the Moon Rabbit Wish Tree, making Chuseok picture calendars, and an AR Mugunghwa flower experience, alongside puppet shows and circus performances. The National Gwangju Museum offers moon jar making, while the Mokpo Children's Sea Science Museum provides mug cup making and science experiences. Additionally, the Bulgapsan Sangsahwa Festival in Yeonggwang features beautiful Sangsahwa flower paths, and Goheung hosts a drone show with 2,000 drones and a maritime fireworks display.

Bloggers emphasize the importance of checking operating hours before visiting, as some facilities may be closed on Chuseok day. Many of the experiential programs are free, making them accessible for families with young children. The ACC Children's Culture Center is particularly recommended as a suitable venue for rainy days or on Chuseok day itself.
