UN Peace Festival

About the festival

The 28th UN Peace Festival is a peace culture festival held for three days from October 23 to 25, 2026, around Peace Park in Nam-gu, Busan. Under the slogan "Open Memory, Open Future," it is held to remember the sacrifice and dedication of the UN Allied nations and to share the value of peace with citizens. Themed "Pieces Make Peace," it runs six theme zones: Memory Zone, Participation Zone, Performance Zone, Connection Zone, Healing Food Zone, and Future Zone, offering a variety of exhibitions, cultural performances, world culture experiences, and citizen participation programs. In particular, a peace parade joined by citizens of diverse generations and nationalities conveys the meaning of harmony and communication, and gives everyone a chance to feel and share the value of peace firsthand. It is a citizen-participation festival that connects the memories of the past to today's peace, and where different people come together as one to build a peaceful future.
