The Miryang Super Festival is a summer water play and water sports festival on the Miryang River. The second edition ran August 7–9, 2026, along the riverside in Sammun-dong. With elementary kids, pick three things: morning water play, afternoon boating or sports, or an evening show. Arrive at the 10 a.m. opening, schedule changing and indoor rest for the hottest hours, and set a time to head home rather than staying until 10 p.m.
Miryang Super Festival at a Glance

Who It Suits
The Miryang Super Festival suits families with elementary kids who love water play and active games, and families in the Busan, Daegu or Changwon area looking for a day trip.
Kids who fear water or loud music should choose one water play session and the rest area, and skip the evening shows.
Suggested Route with Kids
Suggested route: arrive near the venue at 9:30 a.m., enter at 10 and find the facilities, water play or the water battle at 10:30, change and lunch at noon, rest at a cafe or hotel at 1:30 p.m., a water bike, pedal boat or one sport at 3, early dinner at 5:30, a concert or club program around 7, then head home at 8:30.
As of August 7, 2026, the challenge race ran 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the large water play area ran 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. outside race times. For other days, use the program schedule.
Parking and Public Transport
The venue is along the Miryang River in Sammun-dong. Closures and temporary parking entrances can change at riverside events, so set the parking lot named in official notices as your destination instead of the festival name.
As of August 2026, the official program page didn’t clearly list temporary parking addresses or shuttle timetables.
From Miryang Station, check actual city bus times or take a taxi; drivers should arrive before opening.
Hours, Booking and Admission
As of 2026, the Miryang Super Festival ran 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with free admission announced. Contests and water activities may have different age, height, capacity and on-site sign-up rules. Ask at the operations booth about your child’s eligibility and safety gear.
Tips and Packing for Kids
Pack swimsuits, rash guards, water shoes, towels, spare underwear and clothes, hats, sunscreen and a sealed water bottle. Don’t walk to the stage soaking wet; schedule time to change and rest.
Food and Cafes
The 2026 program included a market, a healing rest area and a food plaza. Check booth menus and prices on site, and bring a non-spicy meal option and sealed snacks for kids.
Right after swimming, choose a cafe with easy restrooms and parking where you can go in fully changed, rather than one with blasting air conditioning. Plan just one cafe for an afternoon rest.
Estimated Costs
Festival admission for two adults and one elementary kid was free. Budget 70,000–120,000 won for meals and snacks, 20,000–40,000 won for a cafe, 20,000–60,000 won for transport and parking, and 20,000–50,000 won for water supplies, about 110,000–270,000 won for the day, plus long-distance fuel and lodging.
Pros and Cons
The upside is linking water play, boating, sports and evening shows in one place, with many programs where kids participate instead of just watching.
The downside is midday heat, managing wet clothes and possible waits for popular activities. Check temporary parking, road closures and activity rules right before you go.
Things to Know
Water programs may change or be canceled for rain, lightning, strong wind or river levels. Check the forecast and official notices before you leave. Hold kids’ hands near railings and the water, and set a meeting spot right after you arrive.
