Pocheon Pet Star

포천펫스타

This edition · Data as of · Published ·

Pocheon Pet Star is a one-day festival for dog owners and dog lovers: guided walks with your dog, canine games, classes and stalls. This year it runs on Saturday 14 November 2026, 10:00–18:00, at Pocheon Art Valley in Gyeonggi Province, north-east of Seoul. Entry is not free: the official listing says you pay Pocheon Art Valley's admission charge, but it does not give the amount. We read past visitors' blogs but found none we could rely on, so this page is based on the official listing only.

Visiting from abroad

The official listing makes no mention of English signage, English-speaking staff or interpretation. Expect the programme to be run in Korean. The listing now gives an official homepage, p-petstar.imweb.me, where further details may appear. It has not been announced whether any activity needs advance sign-up, so call 0502-1949-0514 (Korean-speaking line) or ask a Korean friend to check before you go. If you are bringing your own dog, note that the listing says nothing yet about vaccination or lead rules.

Getting there and access

The official listing gives no public-transport, parking or shuttle details, and we have not been able to confirm any for this year. Pocheon Art Valley is outside the city centre, so plan the last leg by taxi or car. Show the driver the venue name and address below rather than relying on pronunciation. Whether a shuttle bus will run has not been announced; ask the organisers on 0502-1949-0514 before you travel.
