Hyo Culture Ppuri Festival

The Hyo Culture Ppuri Festival is a flagship event in Jung-gu, Daejeon. Centered on the theme of “roots,” it is Daejeon’s premier festival of filial piety culture, where participants reflect on the importance of their origins, family, generations, and traditions. It is a festival where visitors can learn about the origins of their family names, the history of their clans, and the legacies of their ancestors, and naturally connect with their roots through various traditional cultural activities and hands-on programs. Rather than merely dwelling on past traditions, the festival offers a special time for different generations to come together and reflect on the meaning of family and the value of filial piety. Furthermore, centered around Root Park and the festival grounds, visitors can enjoy beautiful natural scenery and a variety of performances and hands-on activities. It is a meaningful festival where participants discover the value of the “roots that made me who I am” and can pass this legacy on to future generations.
