When you arrive at a festival venue, the thing you are most curious about is "what it is like right now."
That information is not found in official announcements or past reviews.
FestAlive is a real-time community for each festival.
People attending the same festival leave short comments about what they are currently seeing, and these updates are collected to form the status of the site.
■ What you can do
· Find Festival — Search for festivals nationwide by region and date. Festivals currently in progress are displayed first, while upcoming festivals are shown as D-day.
· Starts Today · This Weekend · This Month — Filter all options at once based on your planned visit date.
· Search — Find festivals directly by name or location.
· On-site Post — Leave a short message and a single photo, such as "30-minute wait at the main gate" or "Booth #3 sold out."
· Status Chip — Select Congestion · Waiting Time · Parking · Restrooms · Food · Weather/On-site · Performances/Experiences with a single tap.
· On-site Status — Displays the values collected via chips for each festival on a single screen. If there is still little news, we will inform you directly that it is lacking.
· Festivals of Interest · Recently Viewed Festivals — Save festivals you want to attend and revisit them.
· Reply & Share — Reply to posts you are curious about and send festival information to your friends.
· Dark · Light Themes — Avoid glare even at night festivals.
■ "Status Chips" Faster Than Text
In communities that only accept free-form posts, the question "Is it crowded?" is repeated dozens of times a day, and answers are scattered.
FestAlive receives the on-site status as a fixed value. A value chosen by ten people becomes a single status, allowing you to see the current state of the festival without reading the posts.
■ Managed by Everyone
· You can leave "Like" and "Delete" reactions on posts, and if the number of deletion requests reaches a certain threshold, the post is automatically hidden.
· The value of festival on-site information disappears after the day passes. Therefore, general posts are automatically deleted 30 days after creation. (Posts that receive many likes and lost/found posts are kept for longer.)
■ What This App Is
· You can read all festival news without logging in. Sign-up is required only to write posts and leave comments.
· Sign-up only requires a mobile phone number and password. We do not collect your name, date of birth, address, or email.
· We do not send push notifications.
· Uploaded photos are saved on the server, and EXIF information such as the shooting location is removed.
· Banner advertisements are displayed at the bottom of the screen to provide the service for free.
■ Data Sources and Guidelines
· The festival list and basic information are based on public data from the Public Data Portal.
- Korea Tourism Organization Tourism Information Service (TourAPI) — Public Nuri Type 3 (Attribution required, no modifications allowed)
- Ministry of the Interior and Safety National Cultural Festival Standard Data
· We do not guarantee the accuracy of festival information. Please be sure to check the official announcements from the organizers before visiting.
· FestAlive is not the official app of any festival organizer or public institution.
