Daejeon Hyo Culture Roots Festival

The Daejeon Hyo Culture Roots Festival is the representative festival of Daejeon's Jung-gu and the city's flagship celebration of hyo, filial devotion. Centered on the idea of 'roots,' it invites visitors to look back on where they come from, their family, and the value of every generation and tradition. Through the origins of family names, the history of clans, and the footsteps of ancestors — and a rich mix of traditional culture and hands-on programs — the festival offers a natural way to meet your own roots. Rather than staying in the past, it presents a special time for generations to come together and reflect on the meaning of family and the value of hyo. Around Roots Park and the festival grounds, visitors can enjoy beautiful nature, colorful performances, and experiences, discovering the preciousness of 'the roots that made me who I am' — a meaningful festival that carries that value on to future generations.
