FESTIVAL OVERVIEW
Located just a short 30-40 min south of Daegu lies Miryang, home to one of the most culturally enriched festivals in Korea that merges ancient Korea sentiment with 21st-century technology in the form of its dazzling night performance.
As we’ve done for the past few years, we are bringing foreigners from the region on a visit on this day of fun and mystique. This time will be a little different as we incorporate the cultural and religious significance of India at this time of year, and welcome both Muslim and non-Muslim friends to come together for a festival that has sought to induce some cultural fusion. The day also includes a visit to Miryang’s famed Twin Tunnel all lit up in neon and is sure to leave you with life-long memories.
In addition, we offer an optional overnight for guests wanting to stay at any glamping or pension sites on Saturday night. Costs will vary depending on availability and number of guests. Also, we will not have bus service for coming back on Sunday, so those staying should bring their own transportation or make their own arrangements by train and taxi. Email us for more info on places to stay!
Visit for 1 day at a low price of 20,000won (children are 10,000won and groups of 10 or more are 7000won each), which will include round-trip bus from your city, lunch (for non-Muslims), dinner (free hahal chicken palaho for Muslims; non-Muslims will be able to use their own money to buy from various food trucks), a thrilling scavenger hunt that brings you closer to the culture (Muslims can choose to stay in exclusive relaxation tents we will provide if they want to rest while fasting, Korean speaking contest for foreigners (with cash prizes!) and VIP seats at the famed Odyssey evening performance.
This trip is in high demand and participants from previous years frequently sign up again, so be sure to book ASAP!
