Jeju gears up for holiday weekend with festivals and events

As Jeju residents, we're excited to welcome visitors for the upcoming long holiday weekend, which offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase the island's unique charm and diverse attractions. The '2026 Pelong Pelong Jeju Olle Global Children's Walking Festival' is a highlight, fostering a sense of achievement and friendship among children while celebrating Jeju's natural beauty along Olle Trail Course 8. This event, organized by the Jeju Olle Foundation, truly embodies the spirit of our island – connecting people with nature and culture.

Beyond the walking festival, Jeju is offering a rich tapestry of experiences. The 'Wildflower Blooming Eco-Forest' at Hallasan Ecological Forest celebrates the chamkkot, a flower symbolic of Jeju, allowing visitors to connect with our local flora through guided tours. Meanwhile, the 'Gyullim Night Out' in Jeju's historic downtown offers a magical evening experience with performances and media art, illuminating the city's cultural heritage after dark. These events are designed to provide both tourists and locals with memorable experiences, highlighting the blend of tradition and modernity that defines Jeju.

For families, especially with Children's Day approaching, Jeju has prepared a special lineup. The Jeju Education Museum transforms into a playground of curiosity with magic shows and traditional games, while several art museums will be open free of charge. The green barley festival on Gapado Island offers a picturesque escape, showcasing the island's agricultural beauty. These diverse offerings underscore Jeju's commitment to providing engaging and accessible activities for everyone, ensuring a vibrant and enjoyable holiday for all who visit our beautiful island.
