The 2026 Daegu Chimac Festival will take place from July 1 to 5 across Duryu Park and nearby areas, recognized as part of Korea’s Local 100 selection and listed as a Preliminary Global Festival. More than a celebration of Korea’s iconic chicken-and-beer culture, the event expands into a multi-sensory summer experience blending live music, cultural programming, and interactive attractions. This year’s highlight is the transformation of 2.28 Freedom Square into a “water concert” space, where electronic music performances unfold alongside water-based play, anchored by a newly built 360-degree central stage. Throughout the festival grounds, visitors can explore creatively themed zones such as Daefrica Waterpia, Chimac Sing-along Club, K-Chimac Street, and Chisangnakwon EGG Island. With large-scale installations, photo-friendly art spaces, and a wide range of performances and hands-on programs, the festival turns the entire park into an energetic summer playground. Artmonster will be there at Chimac The Club, Booth 10!
