Yesul Nanjang X and Dokkaebi Nanjang are strictly for adults aged 19 and over (born before 2007). ID checks are thorough at the gate — no exceptions. Families with minors should focus on free outdoor programs and select theater performances, which are open to all ages.
Layer Up for Late-Night Events
Late May nights in Chuncheon can drop to 10–14°C. For the all-night Dokkaebi Nanjang, a light down jacket or windbreaker is a must. Many visitors have regretted showing up in just a T-shirt! A compact rain poncho is also smart to pack, as outdoor events proceed even in light rain.
Skip the Car — Take the Train
During the festival, parking near Jungang-ro fills within minutes of opening and wait times can exceed 30–60 minutes. From Seoul, the ITX-Cheongchun from Yongsan Station is the smartest option (approx. 1 hour). From Chuncheon Station, walk or take a city bus to the main venues. If driving, park on the outskirts and use a shuttle or bus to avoid the chaos.
