The story of Christmas in Suwon
Suwon's winter begins beside a fortress wall finished in 1796. Families walk the wall, gather on the plaza at Hwaseong Haenggung, and hear a pavilion bell welcome the new year, while December fills with children's musicals and bubble shows.
How Suwon celebrates, and what visitors will notice
Suwon's Christmas goes together with its winter city scenery. Hwaseong Fortress was completed in 1796, and the plaza at Hwaseong Haenggung, inside the walls, is a place where locals gather through the seasons.
For a visiting family, December means two things. By day, a walk along the fortress wall. In the afternoons and evenings, children's Christmas shows in Suwon's theaters. December 25 is a public holiday in Korea, so schools and workplaces are closed and many families spend the day together, often with a cake at home.
The traditions a child will meet
Korean children call Santa Claus Santa Halabeoji, which means Santa Grandfather, and they wait for his gift on the morning of December 25. Many families exchange presents, and some tell their kids the gifts were left secretly by Santa.
Cake is part of the day. Cream sponge cakes from the neighborhood bakery are popular, and ice cream cakes are common too. The new year has its own food: at the end of 2025 neighbors shared tteokguk, a rice cake soup, at the bell ringing near Hwaseong Haenggung. A simple way to tell the two days apart for a child is cake for Christmas and tteokguk for the new year.
Planning a Christmas visit to Suwon with kids
The shows on this page run from December 2 to December 27, 2026. Several are aimed at toddlers and preschoolers, with ages starting at 24 months, such as the weekend musical Christmas Uproar at KBS Suwon Art Hall, snow bubble shows on December 6, and Christmas family musicals about Santa on December 12 and 13. After Christmas come Uncle Scrooge's Christmas Carol on December 26 and 27 and The Little Match Girl on December 27.
All of the listed events need tickets, and none is free. Most are in Korean. The sources for this page do not name a Suwon Christmas market or light display for 2026, so build your trip around the shows and a fortress walk.
How the fortress was built
Hwaseong Fortress has a wall 5.4 kilometers around, and the people who built it used pulleys and a crane called a geojunggi to lift heavy stones. Jeong Yak-yong took part in the design, mixing old Korean fortress methods with Western building technology. Restoration work began in 1975 and took about four years, and in 1997 UNESCO named the fortress a World Heritage site.
Traditions today
- Winter walks on the fortress and at the palace: Hwaseong Fortress's wall is 5.4 kilometers around and can be walked in about half a day. You can continue to Hwaseong Haenggung.
- Year-end concert on the Haenggung plaza: At the end of 2025, a year-end concert began at 10:30 pm on December 31 on the Hwaseong Haenggung plaza, with a jazz band and traditional percussion. A bell ringing and tteokguk sharing took place at Yeomingak nearby.
- Christmas Day as a family holiday: December 25 is a public holiday in Korea, so schools and workplaces close and many families gather and share a cake.
- Waiting for Santa Halabeoji: Korean children call Santa Claus Santa Halabeoji, Santa Grandfather, and look forward to presents on the morning of December 25.
A fact for kids
When Suwon's Hwaseong Fortress was built, workers used pulleys and a crane called a geojunggi to lift big stones. Walking all the way around the wall is 5.4 kilometers.
