Busan is a festival city

This dynamic town celebrates music, dancing, culture, and art all year long because of its bright beaches and infrastructure designed for tourists (5,000 hotels serve only Haeundae Beach). Since Busan hosts at least one national event every month, tourists may swarm there to take part in the festivities. That is the reason why we say that Busan is a festival city.

Busan hosts many festivals all year round, including Busan International Rock Festival, Busan Port Festival, Busan Lotus Lantern Festival, Busan Fireworks Festival, Busan Sea Festival at Haeundae Beach (Korea's largest beach), and Global K-Pop Music Festival.

Since 2008, the Busan Port Festival has been held yearly to promote one of the world's top five ports—Busan Port—and to provide a range of activities that focus on the port's business, culture, and education. For guests who are in groups like families, friends, or couples, there are close to 30 organized events. The Busan Port Tour, in which guests board a ship to view North Port, is among the festival's standout attractions. The Embarkation Experience is a well-liked activity that showcases a navy vessel and a maritime police vessel, both of which are uncommon to witness. Busan Port Parade features an energetic performance and musical accompaniment, and Busan Port Stamp Tour allows visitors to explore a variety of exhibits and interactive activities at the National Maritime Museum and other festival venues.
