The Gimhae Buncheong Ceramics Festival is a ceramics and culture festival held in Gimhae, a leading production center for buncheong ware in the early Joseon period. It is a signature Gimhae festival that carries on the value of traditional ceramic culture, reinterpreting and presenting it in a contemporary way.
