Sokcho Summer Festival

The 2026 Sokcho Summer Festival is a representative regional summer festival held for three days from July 31 to August 2, 2026, in the area surrounding Sokcho Beach in Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do. Against the backdrop of Sokcho's blue sea and refreshing beaches, the event offers dynamic summer content to vacationers and local residents. Programs include "Reply 1988 Arcade," a retro game competition; "Sokcho Summer Splash Water Run," a water gun survival battle; and "Summer Groove," where local dance teams mingle with the audience. At night, "Beach Sound," featuring music performances of various genres, and "Summer Night Electric," an electronic DJ festival designed to blow away the midsummer heat, will heat up the main stage. Additionally, free hands-on programs with a refreshing summer vibe, such as DIY fan and pinwheel making, and a local food market featuring 14 participating teams will be operated to promote mutual growth with local businesses. It is a festival that allows visitors to enjoy a perfect summer vacation amidst their daily lives through dynamic activities that continue from day to night.
