The 30th annual Polar Bear Swim Festival will take place from January 7-8, 2017 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 pre-festival event is scheduled to be held on January 7, 2017 and the main event of the festival will be held on January 8, 2017 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.
