Jeonju City will host the '2025 Hanbok Culture Week' in the downtown area of Jeonju, including Jeolla Gamyoung and the Korean Traditional Culture Center, from the 21st to the 26th of this month for six days.
Under the theme of 'Hanbok Culture where modernity and tradition coexist,' this event is planned to allow citizens and foreigners to enjoy the charm of Hanbok through various programs such as exhibitions, experiences, performances, and social contributions.
This year's Hanbok Culture Week will kick off with the 'Silk Night' event on the 21st at 5 p.m. at Jeolla Gamyoung to commemorate 'Hanbok Day.' During this event, Jeonju citizens and foreigners will wear Hanbok together, enjoy traditional games and various experiences, and share the festive atmosphere.
Following the commemorative event, there will be a Hanbok lighting ceremony, performances, and a banquet, creating a rich night where tradition and modernity blend. Especially on the day of the event, the first 200 people in line can rent Hanbok for free.
Furthermore, at the outdoor courtyard of the Korean Traditional Culture Center and the Hanbok Playground of Jeonju Hanbok Culture Creation Center, an exhibition called 'Jeonju Hanbok Lab' will showcase an experimental space combining traditional Hanbok with modern design and a photo zone.
On the 22nd and 23rd, the 'Hanbok-Adorned Dignity' program will offer traditional etiquette education, Hanbok wearing, and accessory making experiences for participants to directly feel the elegance and value of Hanbok. On the 24th, the 'Hanbok-Adorned Sound' performance will feature families from the Jeonju Center for Disabled Family Support presenting Pansori on stage, offering a special stage where tradition and art converge.
From the 24th to the 26th, the '2026 Jeonju Fiesta' will unfold in collaboration with the Korea Craft & Design Foundation, featuring regional Hanbok culture programs. Through this program, visitors can try on Hanbok for free, make accessories, and participate in the 'Hanbok, Wear Again' exchange market to promote eco-friendly fashion culture. This year, a unique atmosphere will be added with the concept attire of the Grim Reaper from the 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' that captivated people worldwide.
