How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against hsgllf.com. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official site hsgllf.com was fetched but shows only the 2025 schedule; the KTO guide gives the 2026 edition as May 14–31, 2026, free to attend, at Geumjangdae Peak and the Hyeongsangang River area. No 2027 dates were found, so the next edition is unannounced and operation after 2026 remains unconfirmed.
