The 29th
annual Polar Bear Swim Festival will take place from January 9-10, 2016, at
Haeundae Beach. This unique event is held every year to help fend off the cold
winter weather as well as pray for good health in the New Year.
The concert
is scheduled to be held on January 9, 2016 and the main event of the festival
will be held on January 10, 2016 at 10AM at Haeundae Beach.
Enthusiastic
participants will run and jump into the sea and swim in the cold waters like a
“Polar Bear” in the Arctic Ocean. This is one of the city’s most enjoyable
winter festivals and provides a unique experience for everyone involved.
