Everland is turning up the summer fun with a full day of refreshing water experiences, nighttime adventures, and seasonal entertainment. Operated by Samsung C&T Resort Group, Everland is holding its Water Festival from June 19 to August 30, offering visitors a full summer lineup of water-themed experiences, nighttime programs, seasonal menus, and special events.
This year’s festival is held under the theme Splash Day & Night, allowing visitors to enjoy refreshing water activities during the day and atmospheric summer entertainment after sunset. From the new Water PangPang Adventure and large-scale water shows to Night Safari, firefly experiences, illuminated gardens, and DJ performances, the festival brings together a wide range of content for a cool summer outing.
Visitors can also enjoy Everland together with Caribbean Bay through a 2Park event, making it easier to plan a full summer day across both parks.
Water Play, Shows, Attractions, and Summer Menus
A major highlight of this year’s festival is Water PangPang Adventure, a new water play experience zone introduced across an area of approximately 830 square meters. The zone combines water carnival games, water cannons, dance performances, and other water-themed content, with rest areas and changing rooms prepared for families and children.
Inside the zone, visitors can take part in interactive games such as aiming water guns at targets or scoring goals with water. A giant water bucket adds to the excitement, splashing visitors with a waterfall-like burst of water. The area will also host BamBam Man Kids Water Party, a guest-participation performance featuring music, dance, and water cannon effects.
At Carnival Square, Shooting Water Fun Season 2 brings a large-scale water show to the festival. Visitors can also join the after-show, where performers and visitors dance together in the square while getting splashed with water. Everland’s water attractions have also been upgraded for the season, including Thunder Falls, where the water cannon spray after the steep drop has been strengthened for an even more refreshing ride.
Across Everland’s restaurants, visitors can enjoy cool summer menus such as BamBam Man-themed shaved ice, spicy mixed noodles known as bibimmyeon, chilled wheat noodles in broth (milmyeon), and chilled spicy seafood noodle soup (jjamppong). At Cucina Mario near the Rose Garden, Everland is also introducing Korean-Italian bibim pasta in collaboration with Samsung Welstory (@samsungwelstory_official). The limited-time menu combines Korean-style spicy mixed flavors with Italian pasta and was presented by Michelin-trained star chef Fabri (@fabrilicious) through the YouTube series Alpha Man Fabri.
To celebrate the festival opening, Everland will also release more than 30 new Rui & Hui Around Korea merchandise items themed around the summer journey of twin pandas Rui and Hui, along with related events.
Night Safari, Fireflies, Summer Gardens, and DJ Performances
After sunset, Everland will offer a variety of special nighttime experiences for summer visitors. At Safari World, Night Safari began operation on June 12, allowing visitors to observe carnivores that become more active at night. The program features eight species, including lions, tigers, and brown bears, offering a closer look at their dynamic nighttime behavior.
While Night Safari has typically been offered in autumn, Everland is operating the program from summer this year in response to the early heat. The experience is available free of charge to Everland visitors.
From mid-July, visitors can also enjoy A Midsummer Night’s Firefly Experience, where they can encounter fireflies, a symbol of clean natural environments that can be difficult to see in cities. Four Seasons Garden will transform into Summer Glow Garden, featuring white and blue summer flowers, tropical plants, and a refreshing nighttime atmosphere.
Also beginning in mid-July, Everland will present BamBam Summer Night, a DJ show combining EDM, K-pop, and water cannon effects for a cool and energetic summer night.
Enjoy Everland and Caribbean Bay with the 2Park Event
Everland is also holding a 2Park event for visitors planning a summer outing that includes both Caribbean Bay and Everland. Through July 2, Caribbean Bay visitors can enjoy free same-day admission to Everland from 5 p.m. Beginning July 3 and continuing through August 30, they can enter Everland free of charge at any time on the same day, with no time restrictions.
Visitors can also enjoy additional summer experiences across the resort. Everland’s Football & Taco Festival, running through June 29, features football-themed entertainment, giant screen match viewing, and special taco menus inspired by football-loving countries around the world. Meanwhile, Caribbean Bay has opened all major outdoor water attractions ahead of schedule, giving visitors earlier access to signature summer attractions such as Mega Storm, Tower Boomerango, Tower Raft, and Wave Pool.
An Everland representative said the park has prepared a wide variety of water-themed experiences that can be enjoyed from day to night, adding that the 2Park event offers visitors another way to create a more diverse and memorable summer outing.
