Gyeyang Araon Water Festival

The "4th Gyeyang Araon Water Festival," an experiential water play festival held along the Gyeyang Araon waterfront, is set to begin. The event will take place over two days from July 25 (Sat) to July 26 (Sun) at Gyeyang Araon Hwangeo Square, featuring various activities such as water play, water slides, water experiences, cultural performances, and experience booths. The biggest change this year compared to 2025 is the expansion of "motorized water leisure equipment." Moving beyond static experiences, the festival will introduce thrilling motorized equipment like experience boats and donut boats, along with non-motorized kayaks, to enhance the festival's dynamism. Additionally, the water play zone will feature various spaces for the whole family, including frame pools, a kids/play zone, a toddler zone, and water slides. In particular, safety personnel will be deployed at each zone, and the number of visitors per time slot will be limited through pre-registration to ensure a safe environment for visitors to enjoy the festival with peace of mind. There are also plenty of things to see and do besides water play. Various cultural events, such as busking performances by youth and local artists, face painting, and water balloon target shooting, will be held throughout the venue to add vitality. Both the water play zone and water experiences are free. Pre-registration can be made on a first-come, first-served basis via "Naver Reservation" from 10:00 on July 10 (Fri) to 18:00 on July 16 (Thu), with remaining spots available for on-site registration.
