The ‘2026 Suwon Hwaseong Media Art’ is an 18-day nighttime media art festival running from September 19 to October 6 at the Hwaseomun gate, Jangan gate, and Jangan Park areas of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.

‘Light of Hwaseong’ is a program where visitors appreciate the history of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress and media art works alongside cultural tourism guides. Admission is 10,000 won per person on weekends and 5,000 won on weekdays, with participation available for elementary school students in third grade and above. This year will also feature new guided tours in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
