2026 1st Gangwon Urban Regeneration Home Repair Day

About the festival

The 2026 1st Gangwon Urban Regeneration Home Repair Day is a participatory event introducing home repair support projects within urban regeneration programs and the work of local home repair practitioners, while sharing everyday repair techniques and housing maintenance information. It takes place at Hakseong Gallery in Wonju on November 20–21, 2026. Urban regeneration projects in Gangwon State improve living conditions by repairing older homes. Depending on local needs, they also offer home repair skills training and qualification courses to help residents maintain the improved conditions themselves. The event introduces people who use the skills learned through these courses to improve their neighbors’ homes and contribute to their communities as “Gangwon Urban Regeneration Home Repair Wizards.” Main programs include everyday home repair and woodworking activities led by these practitioners and professional training providers, a lecture on preparing for home repairs, a lecture on managing vacant homes, practical cleaning demonstrations, and home repair consultations. An information zone presents urban regeneration projects and home repair support programs across Gangwon State, along with examples of local practitioners’ training and activities. A flea market featuring local businesses, stamp events and social media participation events are also offered.
