This historic festival commemorates Hansando Daecheop (the Great Battle of Hansan, 1592), one of the major battles won by Admiral Yi Sun-shin (1545-1598) during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Now in its 49th year, this year the Great Battle of Hansan Festival is scheduled to be held for five days from August 11th-15th at Munhwa Madang and Yi Sun-shin Park in Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.
On the first day of the festival, as a naval vessel docks at Tongyeong Port, a memorial ceremony will take place at Chungnyeolsa Temple (충렬사) to honor Admiral Lee Sun-shin, where the great leader’s ancestral tablet is enshrined. On the 12th, Gunjeom Ceremony, a naval parade, will be performed at Sebyeonggwan (세병관, one of the main offices of the three naval bases of the Joseon Dynasty) after which the Samdosuguntongjesa (삼도수군통제사, Three Major Naval Bases) Parade will wind along the downtown streets. On the 14th, a reenactment of the Great Battle of Hansan will take place at 18:00 off the shores of Hansando Island featuring ships shooting fire and lasers into the night sky.
A wide range of traditional performances such as Namhaean Byeolsingut, Tongyeong Tallori and Taekkyeon will be held along with other side events including ‘Making Geobukseon (Turtle Ship)’, and ‘Creating Your Own Najeonchilgi’ (mother-of-pearl craft).
