Day-Trip Bus Tour to Experience Vibrant Festivals Across Sokcho
Free Shuttle Service Connecting Tourist Attractions and Festival Venues During the Seorak Cultural Festival
The Sokcho Cultural Tourism Foundation will operate the special cultural tourism program "Sokcho Tour Immersed in Festivals" to mark the 60th Seorak Cultural Festival. This initiative is designed to allow citizens from the Seoul metropolitan area to experience Sokcho's signature autumn festival all in one place.
This tour will take place over two days, October 24 and 25, with a total of 160 participants-80 each day. Departing from Seoul's Jamsil Sports Complex, the day-trip bus tour will visit Sokcho's major tourist attractions and festival sites. Each participant will receive a 15,000-won Gangwon gift certificate, enabling them to freely enjoy lunch and dinner around Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market and Rodeo Street. This is expected to boost participant satisfaction while also invigorating the local economy.
Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from September 29 to October 15 and may close early if capacity is reached. Participation is free of charge, and further details regarding the registration link and application process will be announced separately.
The foundation expects that this "Sokcho Tour Immersed in Festivals" will be even more enriching, as it is linked with major citywide cultural events such as the 60th Seorak Cultural Festival, "Masupda! Sokcho," and the 2025 Sokcho Gourmet Week.
In addition, during the Seorak Cultural Festival, a free shuttle bus will connect major tourist attractions and festival venues throughout Sokcho. Anyone can conveniently travel between event sites and enjoy a variety of festival content by using this shuttle, which will operate for three days from October 24 to 26.
Lee Taehun, Secretary General of the Sokcho Cultural Tourism Foundation, stated, "This year's Seorak Cultural Festival features a variety of programs and on-site experiences that allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in Sokcho's autumn through all five senses, including hands-on activities and souvenir giveaways. We hope this tour program, which is open to families, friends, and couples, will widely showcase the appeal of Sokcho as a cultural city."
He added, "We hope that this tour, which departs from Seoul and allows visitors to enjoy Sokcho's festivals in a single day, will help revitalize the local economy and attract tourists. We will do our best to ensure that both residents and visitors create unforgettable autumn memories in Sokcho."
