Published programme

The 28th UN Peace Festival, a peace culture festival, will be held for three days from October 23rd to 25th, 2026, at the Peace Park area in Nam-gu, Busan. With the slogan "Open Memories, Open Future," the event aims to remember the sacrifices and dedication of UN participating countries and share the values of peace with citizens. Under the theme "Pieces Make Peace," the festival will feature six themed zones: a Remembrance Zone, a Participation Zone, a Performance Zone, a Connection Zone, a Healing Food Zone, and a Future Zone. It will offer a variety of exhibitions, cultural performances, world culture experiences, and citizen participation programs. In particular, a peace parade will bring together citizens of different generations and nationalities, conveying the meaning of harmony and communication, and providing everyone with an opportunity to directly experience and empathize with the values of peace. This citizen-participatory festival connects the memories of the past with today's peace, and brings together people from different backgrounds to create a peaceful future together.
