2026 1st Gangwon Urban Regeneration House Repair Day
Nov 20 – Nov 21, 2026
The '2026 1st Gangwon Urban Regeneration House Repair Day' is a participatory event that introduces the house repair support project carried out within urban regeneration projects and the activities of local house repair personnel, while sharing practical house repair methods and housing management information. It will be held from November 20 to 21, 2026, at Haksong Gallery in Wonju. Within Gangwon State's urban regeneration projects, alongside the house repair support project that improves housing conditions by renovating aging homes, house repair skills training and certification courses are also operated so that residents can maintain and manage their improved environment on their own according to local conditions. This event introduces the personnel who use the skills learned through this training to improve their neighbors' housing conditions and practice sharing in their communities, under the title 'Gangwon Urban Regeneration House Repair Masters.' The main programs are hands-on house repair and woodworking experiences led by the House Repair Masters and professional training companies, a special lecture on house repair preparation, a lecture on vacant house management, a demonstration training on everyday cleaning, and house repair consultations. The promotion zone is a space introducing the status of urban regeneration projects within Gangwon State, the content of the house repair support project, and case examples of local house repair personnel's training and activities. The event also features a flea market with participation from local economic entities, along with stamp and SNS participation events.

Pyeongchang Trout Festival
Jan 1 – Jan 31, 2027
*The information below is based on the 2026 festivals. Details for the 2027 festivals will be updated as they become available.*In the past, winters in this region were unforgiving. Heavy snowfalls buried villages, and neighbors would stretch ropes between their homes, carving tunnels through the snow to find their way from one house to another. When the bitter winds sweeping across the river caused the shallow channels to freeze and merge early in the season, people would hammer at large rocks beneath the ice catch fish and secure a precious meal. Today, the hardships endured by our ancestors have been transformed into celebration. Every year from late December through late January, the Pyeongchang Trout Festival brings this winter heritage to life under the theme, “A Winter Story of Snow, Ice, and Trout.” Visitors can experience the thrill of trout fishing on the frozen Odaecheon Stream, where the crystal-clear ice reveals fish swimming beneath the surface. Along with a variety of winter activities, the festival offers an opportunity to enjoy the true charm and excitement of a Korean winter.
