The Goryeong Daegaya Festival is the Goryeong’s flagship festival and a long-standing celebration where visitors can explore and experience the unique history and culture of Daegaya. In 2025, Goryeong was officially designated as the ancient capital of Daegaya, further enhancing the significance of its rich historical and cultural heritage. In addition, the discovery of pottery bearing the inscription “Great King” at the moat of the Daegaya Palace Site provided important evidence that Daegaya was a powerful ancient kingdom. Together with the inscription of the Jisandong Ancient Tombs on the UNESCO World Heritage List, these developments underscore the importance of preserving and promoting Daegaya’s history and culture for future generations. Under the theme “Daegaya Begins Again: RE-BORN,” the 2026 Goryeong Daegaya Festival seeks to foster pride in Goryeong’s status as the ancient capital of Daegaya while continuing to grow as a leading festival celebrating history and cultural heritage.
