@koreainsider_official: A mask can hide your identity, but at this festival, it tells a story 🎭 The Andong International Mask Dance Festival brings mask traditions from around the world together with Andong’s own mask dance heritage. In 2026, 24 countries and 28 international teams are participating, making the festival a unique meeting point for cultures through dance, music and performance. This year’s theme, “Memories of Masks, Everyone’s Dance,” reflects the stories and memories carried through masks and the idea that dance can be shared by everyone. 🎭 You can experience
• International & Korean mask dance performances
• World Mask Dance Competition
• Global Mask Parade
• Street & outdoor performances
• Mask-making & other experience booths
• Traditional & contemporary performances
• Seonyu Julbulnori at Hahoe Village The experience booths are worth checking out too. You can make your own mask, try different cultural activities, and even make your own T-shirt with cute festival prints👕 💡 Good to know before you go: The festival is spread across Talchum Park, Jungang Line 1942 Andong Station, Andong’s old downtown and Hahoe Village, so check the schedule and plan your route in advance. If you’re driving, we recommend using the designated parking areas and shuttle buses instead of trying to park right next to the busiest festival areas. 🔥 If you’re heading to Hahoe Village, check out Seonyu Julbulnori, a traditional night performance featuring fire, boats and floating lights. In 2026, it takes place on Sep 26, Oct 3 & Oct 4. 🎟️ One more thing to remember: If you buy a ticket for a festival performance, you can receive a ₩2,000 탈춤사랑쿠폰 when exchanging your ticket. It can be used at participating businesses around the festival grounds and old downtown, so keep it and use it during your visit! 📅 Sep 24–Oct 4, 2026
