One of my favorite festivals in Korea is the Lantern Festival in Jinju. It is fantastic. They have lanterns floating in the river, and decorating all of the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, I didn’t arrive in Jinju until quite late at night, but I heard it’s really beautiful at dusk and we have plans to go back in 2013 to find out!
Location: 626, Namgang-ro, Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do
Date: October 1-13, 2013. (It’s around this same time each year)
Website: The official website still has last year’s dates up, but you can use the Visit Korea page about this festival for more details.
Is there a website or something we can go to for details? How long is the drive to Jinju?
The drive is about 2 1/2 – 3 hours. I’ll add a website to the post.
I love the ET lantern! The photos look awesome; enjoy this year’s festival!
We are heading here next week… hope it looks as good as your pictures although I have only heard good things!!! 🙂
You’ll love it! We are actually going back a week from Saturday.
Oh yeah thats when we will be there as well…. we figured the last weekend would be better than the first!!
