The "2025 Natural Dyeing Culture Festival," which celebrates the beauty of tradition and nature, will be held on October 19 at the Baekgyeol Performance Hall and Hwarang Square in Gyeongju Expo Grand Park.
Now in its fourth year, this festival is being organized under the theme "Natural Dyeing Colors the Millennium City" to commemorate the hosting of the 2025 APEC Summit in Gyeongju.
The event will feature a variety of programs, including the fashion show "I Am Also a Natural Dyeing Designer," a traditional performance by the Lee Kyungsook Gugak Art Troupe, and an exhibition of natural dyeing artworks.
Traditional materials colored by the light of nature will be harmonized with modern sensibilities, creating an experiential festival that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
This festival is co-hosted by Gyeongju Expo Grand Park and the Korea Natural Dyeing Instructors Association, and it aims to promote the value of sustainable culture in harmony with nature while showcasing the beauty of Korea's traditional culture to the world.
Kim Youngsook, chairperson of the organizing committee, said, "Various fields such as natural dyeing, textiles, and fashion will come together to present the elegance of tradition and the beauty of nature to visitors."
Kim Namil, president of the Gyeongbuk Culture and Tourism Corporation, stated, "I hope this festival, which brings together nature, tradition, and modernity in Gyeongju-a city with a thousand years of history-will serve as a stepping stone for K-Natural Dyeing to expand globally. The corporation will also actively support the sustainable development of traditional culture."
