What’s New This Year:
“Expanded to an 8-Day Festival”

Celebrating its 62nd edition in 2025, the Suwon Hwaseong Festival has expanded from a concentrated 3-day format into a full 8-day festival. This change reinterprets King Jeongjo’s historic Eulmyo Royal Procession of 1795, which lasted eight days, bringing it into the present day as the festival’s unique Festival Week — blending tradition and modernity, art and citizen participation.

From this year, the King Jeongjo’s Royal Parade, which had traditionally marked the finale of the festival, will instead open the event, following the sequence of the original 8-day royal procession. During the weekdays of Festival Week, programs such as academic forums, exclusive foreign visitor tours, and the Global Village will be held. Finally, on October 3 and 4, the festival will conclude with a grand finale — the main performance Suwon Fantasy “Yajo”.

Theme

New Dawn, Paldal

2023년 시민들과 함께한 60년 '수원동락' 2024년 문화거중기로 쌓아 올릴 새로운 60년 '새빛축성'
그 대전환의 시작 2025년 대한민국 대표 축제를 넘어 세계적인 글로벌 축제로 가치를
사방팔방에서 배와 수레가 모인다는 뜻을 가진 수원화성 남문의 이름 '팔달'에 담아봅니다
 2025 Theme: New Dawn, Paldal
This year’s theme, “New Dawn, Paldal”, embodies the identity and vision of the Suwon Hwaseong Festival, where new light radiates from Paldalmun and unites the city, its citizens, history, and the arts.

“New Dawn” symbolizes new art, culture, and hope for the future, while “Paldal” represents Paldalmun (the South Gate of Suwon Hwaseong) as a place of expanded exchange, openness, and a festival for all citizens.
