Introduction

Held in Andong Hahoe Village, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Andong Maskdance Festival offers a vibrant experience of traditional culture and mask dance performances. If you know the Hahoe mask, this festival will be particularly intriguing. The festival showcases mask dance performances, such as Hahoe Byeolsingut Tallori (Mask Dance Drama of Hahoe), which is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Korea, and mask dances from around the world. The main event is the Tallori Daedongnanjang Parade, in which locals, tourists, and international troupes dance together wearing various masks. Visitors can also see situational plays and play folk games such as Chajeon Nori (Chariot Battle) and Notdari Bapgi (Walking over a Human Bridge).
