The Wangsukcheon Cultural Festival Promotion Committee (Chairman: Choi Jongchan) is hosting and organizing the event, with local organizations from Dasan 1-dong coming together to prepare for the festival. Based on the origins of the name Wangsukcheon, this festival is a signature autumn event in Dasan-dong that revisits local history and culture, while promoting communication and unity among residents.

Celebrating its 12th edition this year, the Wangsukcheon Cultural Festival will run from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., featuring a variety of attractions such as the Royal Procession, special performances by Ha Taeung and Lee Seungyul, cultural performances by community center students, and a hanbok fashion show. There will also be programs for all ages, including mudfish catching, food trucks, and a flea market.

In particular, the "Royal Procession," which reenacts the origin of the Wangsukcheon name and traditional royal court culture, is a highlight performance featuring a large flag-bearing team, honor guards, and a traditional costume group marching together. This event vividly showcases the dignity and grandeur of the Joseon Dynasty royal family and receives enthusiastic responses from visitors every year.

Additionally, at the Wangsukcheon Water Playground, children will have the opportunity to catch mudfish in the water themselves, an experience expected to be popular among families. Other engaging activity booths will also be set up, including traditional games, air bounce, drone experiences, and art therapy, offering a wide array of fun experiences.

Meanwhile, set against the beautiful natural backdrop of Wangsukcheon, this festival is expected to provide a meaningful time for citizens seeking a break from daily life, offering a "leisurely day to rest and linger like a king" while enjoying the region's traditions and culture together.
