Nami Island (Namiseom) hosts Peru Week from 9 to 11 October 2026 in Chuncheon, South Korea. The programme brings performances, exhibitions and participatory activities focused on Peru to the island during an autumn weekend.
The opening ceremony is scheduled for 10 October 2026 at 2pm at Eco Stage. The event gives the Chuncheon destination a fixed cultural programme inside the current October travel window, rather than relying only on its permanent landscape and visitor facilities.
Peru Week brings performances and exhibitions from 9 to 11 October
The organiser lists Peru Week as a three-day event running from Friday 9 October to Sunday 11 October 2026. Its description refers to Peru's natural environment and culture, with performances, exhibitions and activities in which visitors can take part.
The programme also lists the 2026 Korea-Japan Art Exchange Project and Ecuador Day on the island. These additional entries place Peru Week within a broader international cultural programme, while the opening ceremony on 10 October provides the clearest single date for visitors planning a visit.
Peru Week programme identifies the event period, venue and main programme categories. The same page identifies the operator as Nami Island Inc. and gives the Chuncheon address.
Nami Island connects an international programme with nature
The island is an established cultural destination in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, with a setting associated with natural scenery and a range of cultural events, concerts and exhibitions. The national tourism authority describes it as a place where nature and varied visitor activities sit alongside its cultural programme.
That combination matters for the October event: Peru Week is not presented as a city-centre conference but as a programme distributed across a nature-based visitor destination. The official address is 1 Namiseom-gil, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, while the visitor information identifies Gapyeongnaru Pier as the ferry departure point.
official visitor information places the destination in Chuncheon and describes its cultural events, concerts, exhibitions and natural attractions. The information also records the address and ferry access point.
What the 10 October opening adds to the island visit
The opening ceremony at Eco Stage is the programme's named central moment on 10 October 2026. Visitors during the three-day period will find the event framed through performances, exhibitions and hands-on activities rather than a single exhibition room or one-off concert.
The international references are also specific to the programme. Peru is the main subject, while the listed Korea-Japan art exchange and Ecuador Day extend the cultural focus beyond one country and connect the weekend to the island's wider events profile.
