Ulsan Industrial Festival

The 2026 Ulsan Industrial Festival will take place from Thursday, October 8, to Sunday, October 11, at the Taehwa River National Garden riverside park in Nam-gu under the theme “AX Great Transformation, All In Ulsan.” Kicking off with an opening ceremony that weaves together the 60-year history of Ulsan’s industrial growth and the 1,000-year history of Cheoyong—symbolizing the city’s spirit—into a single, meaningful narrative, the festival will feature the “Ulsan Citizens’ Gathering,” where citizens become the true stars of the event, the “Ulsan U-Culture Festival,” featuring passionate participation from university clubs based in Ulsan; diverse future-themed experiences incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) technology; and a large junk art robot photo zone set to become an iconic landmark of the festival grounds—all designed to engage and entertain people of all ages. In addition, the 2026 Ulsan Industrial Festival will feature special corporate booths set up by five Ulsan-based companies to engage more closely with citizens, adding further attractions. Along with this, the festival will be fully stocked with local delicacies carefully selected through a contest, refreshing chicken and beer, and a variety of food trucks, ensuring a rich festival experience that engages all five senses for people of all ages.
