Unsan Pyolshin Festival (February to March) is held near Puyo. The festival is a series of religious rituals, originally staged every three years but now an annual event, held in memory of the soldiers who died attempting to save the Paekche Kingdom, which fell in 660AD. Shamanic rites are performed to bless the soldiers' souls and the priestesses, known as mudang, go into trances and appear to take on the voice and manners of the deceased in ceremonies known as kut.

A day for sweethearts to express their feeling toward one another with cards, chocolate, flowers, gifts or a simple “I love you”.
