Korea Maritime and Ocean University to host campus festival open to local community

Korea Maritime and Ocean University will hold its 2026 Archi Haestival — a campus festival open to the local community — on Wednesday and Thursday across its campus grounds. The event is designed to open the university to residents of the surrounding area, welcoming not only students and staff but also the general public.

Rather than limiting visitors to watching performances, the festival will center on hands-on activities and spaces where attendees can linger. Promotional and experience booths run by university administrative departments, project teams, outside organizations and student clubs will operate throughout the event, alongside a lineup of cultural programs that includes invited singer performances, student club showcases and a song contest.

To share cultural experiences with the broader community, organizers will set up photo zones around the venue. During morning hours when the main stage is not in use, visitors will be able to borrow beanbag chairs and picnic mats and watch films in a relaxed, open-air setting.

Full schedules are available on the Korea Maritime and Ocean University website.
