Visit (Planned) Impressions
We’re sorry, but there is still no officially verified information for a festival called “Winter in Yangpyeong Bulbit-ae.” As of now (December 30, 2025), no event or festival under that exact name appears in search results, so it may have been confused with similar events such as “Winter Yangpyeong” or various “light festivals.”
For example, Yangpyeong-gun is planning a winter festival called “Winter in Yangpyeong,” to be held from December to the following January, linked with various winter experience programs, and information indicates that a year-end event called “Light of Love” is scheduled as one part of it on December 31. In addition, it is clearly confirmed that “Yangpyeong Ice Trout Festival” in Sumimauel, Yangpyeong will be held from December 6, 2025, to March 2, 2026.
If “Winter in Yangpyeong Bulbit-ae” is in fact a real festival, it is likely to be a renamed version of one of the events above, a small local light festival, or a newly planned event. Looking forward to lights adorning the midwinter riverside, once the schedule and programs are finalized, we’ll be able to paint a more detailed picture of the on-site atmosphere and routes.
Where to Stay
There are many accommodations near Namhangang Terrace that offer riverside views or a quiet place to rest. If you’d like to take your time before and after the festival and enjoy Yangpyeong’s winter scenery, choose where to stay by considering driving distance and nearby amenities.
