Gwacheon Youth Festival
Oct 3, 2026 · Gyeonggi

Overview
The 2026 5th Gwacheon Youth Festival, 'Gwa:Chungjeon Festival,' is a youth culture festival held at Gwacheon Central Park from 1 PM to 10 PM on Saturday, October 3rd. With the reassuring concept of "a day when drained young people can overcharge themselves, just for today," it's a place that fills tedious, tired daily life with fun and energy.
This ordinarily unremarkable park transforms for Youth Day into a 'No-Discharge Zone' that everyone can enjoy together, featuring a Battery Check Room, Charging Arcade, Energy Fishing Pond, Power-Output Tattoo Shop, and more.
From the policy experience booths in the Clean Zone, to the rewards and experience programs in the Overimmersion Zone, the pop-up stores at Overcharge, and the main stage performances and busking stages that will heat up Gwacheon's night! It's a festival for everyone, where you can rest to excess and recharge, just for today. A stamp tour around Central Park to collect stamps, along with goods events, will also be held to keep visitors lingering.
Additionally, an Overeating Zone will be operated, offering food truck fare such as yakisoba, chicken skewers, crepes, and takoyaki, so visitors can enjoy the festival on a full stomach. After sunset, performances by invited artists and string lights will fill Gwacheon's night sky. On this one day that fills Gwacheon's day most intensely and to excess, you can meet a 150%-charged version of yourself at the 'Gwa:Chungjeon Festival'.
