Event summary

Highlights

Falling fire effect created by burning charcoal pouches over water
Traditional use of hanji (mulberry paper) and charcoal powder
Held at the scenic Mujinjeong Pavilion pond

Known as "falling fire play," this traditional performance involves pouches of charcoal powder wrapped in hanji (mulberry paper). These pouches are ignited while hanging from ropes stretched across the water, sending a continuous shower of sparks downward to reflect off the pond. The practice is a significant cultural heritage event in South Gyeongsang Province.

A special event is scheduled for October 15, 2026, as part of a major initiative to attract international tourists to the region. Visitors attending the festival often pair the experience with trips to the nearby Marisan Tumuli, a UNESCO-listed ancient tomb complex, and local culinary specialties such as ox head soup and rice steamed in lotus leaves.
