Cheongdo-gun to Hold Nation’s Largest Daljip Burning on March 3... 2026 Jeongwol Daeboreum Folk Festival
Spectacular 20-Meter Daljip Burning Anticipated
Excitement Heightened by Singer Performance and Pungmul Contest
Cheongdo-gun (Governor Kim Hasu) will hold the grand event "2026 Jeongwol Daeboreum Folk Festival" on March 3 to celebrate Jeongwol Daeboreum, at the riverside of the Cheongdo Stream.
This event is Cheongdo’s representative traditional folk festival, centered around the Daljip Burning, one of the largest of its kind in the country, praying for the well-being of residents and a bountiful harvest.
In particular, this year an extra-large daljip, reaching a height of 20 meters, will light up the night sky and create an overwhelming spectacle.
Attracting thousands of visitors every year, the festival has established itself as a symbol of local traditional culture. On the day of the event, from 12:00 p.m., various side programs will be offered, including writing wish papers, traditional folk game experiences, sharing seasonal foods, and selling local agricultural specialties.
In the afternoon, a pungmul (traditional Korean percussion music) contest will take place, featuring pungmul troupes from each eup and myeon.
The pungmul contest will see pungmul troupes representing each eup and myeon of Cheongdo-gun compete in skill. Performances by Cheongdo-gun’s high-caliber pungmul troupes, renowned for Chasan Nongak, which is designated as an Intangible Cultural Property of Gyeongsangbuk-do, are expected to heighten the excitement and participation of the event.
Next, there will be a performance by invited singer Kim Suchan, who is currently active on the program "Hyeonyeok Gawang," followed by a moon-welcoming ritual. Timed with the moonrise, the largest Daljip Burning in the country, in which heads of institutions and organizations join residents to ignite the daljip together, is expected to create a spectacular scene.
