Andong National Heritage Night - Wolyeong Night Stroll
안동 국가유산 야행 월영야행 · Andong, North Gyeongsang
– Past
This edition has finished.
Korean festivals usually keep to roughly the same window each year, so the next
one should land near those dates — but the organizer publishes the confirmed
dates and they move, sometimes by weeks.

Andong's heritage buildings opened at night, lit, with performances — a night version of the daytime sites.
Who it suits: Visitors who found heritage sites too hot or too crowded by day — the point is that the buildings open after dark, lit, with performances inside them.
When, where, how much
From the organizer
Organized by National Heritage Service, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Andong City. These pages are the organizer's own and open on their site. They are usually Korean only — but that is where the confirmed programme, stage times and site map appear first, and times and prices read the same in any language.

Getting there and staying
We have a full guide to this area — see our Andong guide for where to stay and how the town fits together.
Festival weeks fill local rooms earlier than you would expect. What is available in Andong right now:
Outside the big cities, wifi is not something to plan around. Shuttle stops, stage times and the day's program are posted on the organizer's Korean-language page or a Naver Map pin, and they change on the day. A Korean eSIM is the cheapest way to have it working before you land.
