To participate, reservations must be made on the Cheongwadae website starting at 2 PM on the 9th. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, with up to 2,500 people accepted per day. However, for traditional Chuseok events like 'Cheongwadae Paldo Yuram,' only a reservation for the Cheongwadae tour is required.

From the 16th to the 18th, at the Cheongwadae helipad and Chunchoogwan, there will be street parade marches and fusion performances combining traditional Korean music (gugak) and bands. There will also be a market where visitors can experience folk games from the eight provinces.

Next month, various concerts including pop, jazz, gugak, and classical music will be held every weekend at the Cheongwadae helipad. Especially during the first and second weeks, special nighttime performances will also take place.

At Chunchoogwan, visitors can explore Korean literature, the root of K-culture. The National Korean Literature Museum will hold an exhibition titled "The Pulse of Korean Literature" from October 28th to November 24th, showcasing valuable Korean literary materials.

The country's largest cultural and arts festival for people with disabilities, the "A+ Festival," will also be held from October 27th to 29th at Cheongwadae's Chunchoogwan, helipad, and promotional hall. A Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism official stated, "We will hold more cultural events at Cheongwadae to make it a place that people visit again and love."
