Get ready to experience the trendiest autumn festival in Gangwon-do! The Yanggu DMZ VIBE FESTA (디엠지 감성 축제) is arriving at the Yanggu Porcelain Museum on October 25, 2025. This family-friendly event, organized by the Gangwon Tourism Foundation, blends the serene beauty of the DMZ with soulful music and hands-on cultural experiences.
From energetic busking performances to trekking along the historic DMZ Peace Road, there is something for everyone. Whether you are looking to shop for local specialties like Yanggu honey and apples or enjoy a high-quality musical gala show, this festival is the perfect way to soak in the autumn vibes of the border region.
Musical Soul and Local Flavors
Exciting Busking and Specialty Experiences
The festival stage will be buzzing with talent from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Hosted by MC Youngshik, the lineup features the soulful voices of Jung Ye-won and Shin Eui-jin, followed by a spectacular Musical Gala Show. These performances are set against the artistic backdrop of the porcelain museum, creating a unique "vibe" that resonates with the crisp autumn air.
While enjoying the music, visitors can explore a variety of hands-on experience classes. Learn how to make apple jam, honey lattes, or even honey soap using fresh Yanggu ingredients. There are also booths where you can purchase local specialties directly from regional farmers, ensuring a delicious and authentic taste of Yanggu to take home.
Trekking the DMZ Peace Road Course 25
Walking Through History and Nature
For those who love the outdoors, the festival includes a special trekking session on a segment of the DMZ Peace Road Course 25. This approximately one-hour round-trip walk takes you from the Porcelain Museum to the Baekto Village Observatory. It’s a rare opportunity to see the untouched nature and rugged beauty of the border region while breathing in the fresh mountain air.
Along the trail, participants can join a stamp tour. Completing all five stamps will grant you a chance to participate in a fun "retro lottery" event! This walking course is designed to be accessible and engaging, making it a great activity for families to bond while learning about the peaceful significance of the DMZ area.

Artistic Heritage and Museum Incentives
The festival takes place on the lush green lawns of the Yanggu Porcelain Museum (양구백자박물관). This museum is a cultural landmark that preserves the long history of white porcelain in the region. During the festa, those who participate in the museum's pottery experience programs will even receive a 50% discount coupon for the festa's various experience booths!
It's a wonderful chance to combine a high-energy festival with a peaceful visit to a world-class art gallery. Take a moment to browse through the exquisite porcelain works inside before heading out to the lawn for the busking and food stalls. This "art-nature-music" combination is what makes the DMZ VIBE FESTA a truly modern and emotional travel model.
Which program sounds more appealing to you—the energetic musical gala show or the peaceful trek along the DMZ Peace Road?
