A Korea Heritage Service press release dated 2026-09-03 and the current the published information agree on 2026-10-07–2026-10-11 for the autumn K-Royal Culture Festival. This autumn's venues are Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Deoksugung and Changgyeonggung palaces, plus Jongmyo Shrine. The festival has not begun today, 2026-10-04.
Palace admission fees vary by venue, and each programme has its own times, prices and booking rules. The press release points to Ticketlink and to Creatrip for programmes aimed at international visitors. Current seat availability and sales status have not been verified. Some dedicated international or English-language sessions are listed, but this does not mean every programme offers foreign-language support.
Start with one palace and one programme to make booking times and travel manageable. Deoksugung's exhibition 'From Gwangmu to Yunghui' is announced for 2026-10-07–2026-10-11, 10:00–17:00, making it a daytime option next week. If an evening programme is unavailable, consider a daytime exhibition, but recheck its participation conditions and palace entry procedures before travelling. This recommendation is not based on a field visit or a completed booking.
