Published programme

Based on the excellent achievements of King Sejong the Great, particularly the creation of the Korean alphabet, this event has been held since 2013, and in 2025, it was renamed from "Sejong Festival" to "Sejong Korean Alphabet Festival." It operates as a festival that anyone, regardless of age or nationality, can relate to and enjoy, featuring performances, exhibitions, and hands-on activities that re-interpret the beauty and creativity of the Korean alphabet in a modern way. It provides a venue where the passion of artists, the smiles of citizens, and the excitement of tourists blend together, showcasing diverse content where the Korean alphabet becomes both art and play. Furthermore, through festival programs that combine tradition and modernity, it is growing into a unique cultural and tourism festival in Sejong City, allowing people to experience the charm of the Korean alphabet and the spirit of King Sejong the Great in a downtown park.
