ULSAN — The 2026 Ulsan Industrial Festival will run for four days from Oct. 8 to 11 along the Nam-gu riverside section of the Taehwa River National Garden.
This year's festival is built around the vision "AX Transformation, All In! Ulsan," referring to artificial intelligence transformation, and is designed as a citizen-participation event blending industry, history and culture.
The opening ceremony on Oct. 8 will feature a six-chapter themed performance tracing Ulsan's growth, congratulatory stage performances by popular singers, a swarm drone show involving 1,000 drones and a fireworks display. Throughout the festival, a citizens' festival ground and a youth U-Culture Festival will be held alongside a permanently operating AI experience zone featuring generative AI and robots, as well as a future expo. The event closes on Oct. 11 with a traditional culture-themed finale performance.
