The 2026 information does not specify transportation methods or travel times from the nearest major city, walking or bus routes from a station or terminal to the venue, or whether temporary shuttles will operate. Daily operating hours and the start and end times of individual programs have also not been released, so the available information cannot confirm whether a day trip is feasible.
The parking lot location and fees, as well as whether a temporary parking lot will operate, have not yet been confirmed. The official page was last updated on September 8, 2026. Since the schedule may change depending on on-site conditions, it is safest to call ahead and confirm the day's itinerary.

How to choose the Yozo book concert and Son Eco birdwatching on the same day
The main stage lineup includes Byeon Seon-hui, Seoul Bossa Society, Ssowatnolla, Yozo's book concert, The Ade, Soran, Jazi Forest, 9&4, and Joun. Performance times have not been announced, so anyone wanting to see a particular performer should inquire about the schedule before departing.
Additional activities include Son Eco birdwatching, Yudasom Mindful, Waikiki Hula Club hula dancing, Ha Jae-uk caricatures, and making a shaker titled “I, Too, Am Bossa” (working title). It has not been announced which activities require understanding Korean explanations and which can be enjoyed through observation and music without knowing the language.
The Youth Market, a reward stamp tour, and Wind Bell self-customization are also included as participatory activities. The prices of food and drinks at Donggang Gourmet Club and products at the Youth Market, as well as whether card or cash payments are accepted, have not yet been announced.
Four things to confirm after free admission
Admission in 2026 is free, but it has not been stated whether advance reservations or tickets are required, whether on-site participation is possible, or whether individual activities incur fees. The available information also does not confirm whether English signs, English leaflets, or interpretation will be provided, so travelers who require English guidance should inquire before visiting.
Information about operation or cancellation in case of rain, the locations of restrooms and rest areas, luggage storage, and wheelchair or stroller accessibility is not yet available. Visitors seeking a quiet experience should first check whether the performance stage and DJ setup are suitable, while those who may have difficulty returning late should confirm the end time and whether return transportation has been arranged.
Based only on the published facts, free admission and the inclusion of nine performance teams together with Donggang Garden, the Youth Market, Donggang Gourmet Club, and Keungol Radio help reduce the financial burden. However, because prices and operating times are unavailable, confirm your detailed budget and expected stay by calling 033-370-2731 before visiting.
