About This Place

The Goryeong Daegaya Festival is a historical celebration centered around the ancient city of Daegaya, which thrived from AD 42 to 562 as a powerful iron-age kingdom in regions including Goryeong. A must-visit is the Theme Pavilion, which highlights the World Heritage significance of the Ancient Tombs in Jisan-dong, Goryeong. The forest playground and night trekking around the ancient tombs are popular annual attractions. In addition, there are diverse performances and activities, including a 100 gayageum (twelve-stringed zither) performance featuring the representative instrument of Daegaya, experiential programs, and original musicals. The festival showcases the 520-year history and culture of Daegaya with various performances and experiences, notably the night trekking program, themed “Gobammasil,” exploring the tomb.

◎ Daegaya
Daegaya, an enigmatic ancient kingdom, flourished 1,500 years ago, nurturing its unique history and splendid cultural arts, supported by a strong iron culture, even amid the powerful states of Baekje and Silla.

◎ Gayageum
The gayageum, a traditional instrument originating from Gaya, primarily carries the thematic melody in Korean traditional music. Ureuk, a revered musician from Gaya, was named the most respected musician by popular Korean pianist Yunchan Lim during his victory interview at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Listening to Ureuk’s gayageum music and visiting the Goryeong Daegaya Festival can be a delightful experience.
