설악문화제 is Sokcho’s signature local cultural festival, continuing since the 1st Seorak Festival in 1966. Centered on Seoraksan, it brings together the region’s history and culture with the lives and stories of Sokcho’s people. Celebrating its 61st edition, this year’s theme is “설악, 함께 물들다”. The festival looks back on 60 years of tradition while moving forward as a place where citizens and visitors create new stories together. Its identity is preserved through diverse programs that invite citizens to become the heart of the festival. The historic ritual “설악소사(雪嶽小祀)” is reimagined with commentary and storytelling, making its meaning accessible to everyone. The Seoraksan climbing competition, including a rare walk along the normally closed 달마봉 trail, and a mountain concert let visitors enjoy Seorak’s beautiful autumn scenery. The signature street parade brings together residents, clubs, schools, and arts groups along 설악 로데오거리. At Sokcho Expo Grass Plaza, 시민 화합 programs, performances by local arts groups, fringe shows, and a club festival continue throughout the event. Hands-on local culture activities, a children’s playground, the 설악로데오 거리 상권 활성화 사업, and 속초 문화도시 미식주간 add even more to the experience. After 61 years, 설악문화제 begins a new chapter of time and stories.
