Overview
The Suwon Theater Festival began in 1996 under the name "Suwonseong International Theater Festival," focusing on theater and outdoor plays in the Hwaseong area of Suwon. In 2018, the festival moved its venue to Gyeonggi Sangsang Campus and is now held with a focus on "Theater in public space," including street theater. The Suwon Theater Festival aims to revitalize the monotonous daily lives of citizens through new artistic experiences and to stimulate joyful artistic imagination regarding everyday spaces by utilizing public parks as artistic stages.

🇰🇷 Copy this into Naver Map or Kakao Map
Google Maps cannot give walking or transit directions inside Korea — Korean law restricts map-data export. Naver Map and Kakao Map can, but they find far more when you search in Korean. Copy and paste:
🅿️ Nearby attractions — with actual parking capacity
Most sites only say "parking available." These are official figures from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, so you can judge before you drive.
Names and addresses here stay in Korean on purpose. Google Maps cannot give directions inside South Korea, and NAVER Map / KakaoMap find these places only under their Korean names — copy an address above and paste it straight in.
🏮 Traditional market days during the festival
Korean country markets open only on days ending in fixed digits — every 5 days. These are the actual dates they open while the festival runs, so you can add one to the same trip.

Taking the trip home
A small Korean brand called kory puts city names on everyday things — hair rollers, hair ties, claw clips, scarves.
We help make kory, so this is not a paid placement — but it is a link we have an interest in. That is why it sits here at the bottom and nowhere else. Product pages and the shop home are in English; a few other pages there are still Korean only.
