About

Eight happy days shared with the people, arriving as a festival of the citizens. The most magnificent festival in Joseon history, a journey shared by the people and a sage king! Along the path of King Jeongjo's royal procession in 2026, we reflect on the king's intentions within the *Wonhaeng Eulmyo Jeongni Uigwe*. In 1795, King Jeongjo traveled to Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon to commemorate the sixtieth birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong. Jeongjo's eight-day journey was not merely a king's movement but a historic event in which he shared joyful memories with the people. Jeongjo's spirit of loving the people was recorded in the *Wonhaeng Eulmyo Jeongni Uigwe* and widely distributed. In 2026, inheriting the spirit of King Jeongjo, the people's happy memories are recreated as the citizens' happy memories. The joint reenactment of King Jeongjo's royal procession is a festival in which Seoul Metropolitan Government, Gyeonggi Province, Suwon City, and Hwaseong City collaborate to splendidly recreate the original form of the 'Eulmyo-year Hwaseong Wonhaeng' in modern times.
