Recommended travel tips
Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival
The Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival takes place every October in Jinju. The festival began as a way to remember the Battle of Jinjuseong Fortress during the Imjin War and the victorious feat won by floating night lanterns on the Namgang River to interrupt the outside invaders. As the theme involves night lanterns, most of the festival’s major events take place at night including the lantern floating event that beautifully lights up the Namgang River and Jinjuseong Fortress.
