Yeongdong Nan-Gye Korean Traditional Music Festival
Yeongdong, the hometown of Joseon Dynasty traditional music virtuoso Park Yeon, is regarded as the Mecca of Korean traditional music. Every year, the Korean traditional music festival named after Park’s pen name, Nangye, is held in the area. In addition to featuring various exhibitions and experience programs centered on Korean traditional music, the Yeongdong Nangye Traditional Music Festival offers cultural arts and foods in conjunction with Yeongdong Grapes Festival. Visitors may spend some time in a hanok (Korean traditional house), or attend Korean traditional music or tea ceremony classes during the festival.
