*The following festival details are for the 2026 festival, and the 2027 festival details are currently being updated.*The Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival, held in Hwacheon, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, is a unique winter festival that was named one of the '7 Wonders of Winter' by CNN in 2011. The festival takes place every January when the famously clear Hwacheon Stream freezes over, offering experiences to catch sancheoneo (mountain trout), called the queen of the valley, through ice fishing and bare-hand catching. Visitors can enjoy the thrill of ice fishing for sancheoneo and savor it fresh as sashimi or grilled, and beyond fishing, various winter activities such as ice sledding, snow sledding, and bobsledding unfold, attracting over 1 million visitors each year.
