- Anyang Uri Pungmul Art Troupe performs at Eco Stage on 21 November 2026, with Nami Island operator Naminara confirming the programme.
- Theatre Company Ryu follows on 22 November 2026, with both performances scheduled at 12pm and 2pm.
- Nami Island lies in Chuncheon, while visitors reach the river island from Gapyeong Wharf after travelling by rail from Chuncheon.
- The operator's autumn ferry schedule runs through 22 November 2026, including an additional early service.
Nami Island (Namiseom) in Chuncheon will host two November performances at Eco Stage, with the programme scheduled for 21 and 22 November 2026. The operator lists Anyang Uri Pungmul Art Troupe for 21 November and Theater Company Ryu for 22 November. The island is reached by ferry from Gapyeong on the South Korean mainland.
Nami Island performances move to 21 and 22 November
The operator has updated the programme for the two weekend dates. Anyang Uri Pungmul Art Troupe will perform on Saturday, 21 November 2026, while Theater Company Ryu is scheduled for Sunday, 22 November 2026.
Both performances are listed at 12pm and 2pm at Eco Stage. The revised dates and venue appear in the November performance notice issued by the island operator.
The schedule gives visitors a specific cultural programme during a period when the island's tree-lined paths and riverside setting remain central to a day visit. It also places the performances inside the island itself rather than at a separate venue in Chuncheon.
Eco Stage connects the programme with the river island
The venue is part of Nami Island, a wooded river island associated with Chuncheon in Gangwon Province. Visitors do not drive directly onto the island; the usual approach is from Gapyeong Wharf, across the Bukhan River.
The island's setting makes the ferry part of the visit before the performances begin. A regional travel guide confirms the Chuncheon connection, the Gapyeong approach and the route from Chuncheon to Gapyeong Station, while the operator provides the 2026 autumn ferry schedule.
For the November programme, that access detail matters because the performances fall before the operator's listed autumn extension ends on 22 November 2026. The early ferry service therefore covers the first of the two performance dates, while the island remains the destination for both days.
November visitors also find a changing autumn landscape
A separate autumn project adds another current feature to the visit. The Korea Herald reported that five tonnes of ginkgo leaves from Seoul's Songpa district were spread along Songpa Ginkgo Tree Lane on the island on 12 November 2026.
The project has linked Songpa and the island each autumn since 2006. The leaves are intended to remain on the roughly 100-metre lane for about a month before collection and composting, extending the seasonal setting around the November performances.
The combination of a scheduled stage programme and a temporary autumn installation gives the two dates a clear connection to the place. Visitors can encounter the performances at Eco Stage and the leaf-covered lane elsewhere on the same river island.
Visiting Nami Island: what travellers from Western Europe should know
- The performances take place on 21 and 22 November 2026 at Eco Stage. Anyang Uri Pungmul Art Troupe is listed for 21 November, and Theater Company Ryu for 22 November, with sessions at 12pm and 2pm on both dates.
- The programme is an on-island event, so visitors travel to the island before reaching the performance venue. The operator's notice does not announce a closure or a changed entrance for these performances.
- From Western Europe, a confirmed route is the ITX-Cheongchun train to Gapyeong Station, followed by the connection to Gapyeong Wharf. The ferry then crosses to the island.
- The setting consists of a river island with tree-lined paths and outdoor areas. The route involves a boat crossing and walking between the landing point, paths and Eco Stage.
- The official language is Korean and the national currency is the South Korean won. Entry requirements depend on your nationality; UK travellers can check the FCDO travel advice at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice, Irish travellers the Department of Foreign Affairs at ireland.ie.
