Nami Island (Namiseom) in Chuncheon, South Korea, is hosting Peru Week from 9 to 11 October 2026. The programme combines performances, exhibitions and participatory activities, giving the island a current cultural event during the autumn travel season.
The operator lists an opening ceremony at Eco Stage on 10 October 2026 at 2pm. The event is presented as a public programme about Peru's nature and culture, rather than as a commercial food or shopping promotion.
Peru Week brings performances to Nami Island from 9 October
Peru Week began on 9 October 2026 and ends on 11 October 2026. The operator's programme identifies three strands: performances, exhibitions and experiences in which visitors can take part.
The scheduled opening ceremony on 10 October 2026 is at Eco Stage. The programme page also lists the 2026 Korea-Japan Art Exchange Project on Nami Island and Ecuador Day on Nami Island alongside the Peru Week notice. Their appearance on the same programme page places the event within a wider international cultural calendar.
The island operator describes the event as an opportunity to encounter Peru more closely through culture and nature. Its Peru Week programme gives the dates, venue for the opening ceremony and the main programme categories.
Nami Island links the event to a managed cultural landscape
The venue is at 1 Namiseom-gil, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do. The entry wharf is separately listed at 1024 Bukhangangbyeon-ro in Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, while the island itself is administered within Chuncheon.
The island was formed when the Cheongpyeong Dam was built in 1944. The operator's history records extensive tree planting from 1960, the purchase and forestation of the site in 1965, and the establishment of Kyeongchun Tourism Development in 1966. These dates help explain why an international programme of performances and exhibitions is staged in a landscape whose modern identity was deliberately shaped through trees, tourism and cultural activity.
Since 2001, the operator says, the island has expanded content connected with the environment, art and culture. Peru Week therefore fits a longer programme history: the event uses the island not simply as a backdrop, but as a managed cultural destination. Further historical context is set out in the operator's history of the cultural island.
