This summer, if you are looking to ward off the heat and turn up your summer fun, have a blast at one of the cool water festivals being held throughout the nation from the middle of July. Starting off with the Water Gun Fight in Seoul, Yeongwol Donggang Festival and Jeongnamjin Jangheung Water Festival will be held in Gangwon-do province and Jangheung-gun respectively.

The programs vary at each festival but water gun fights are free at all three.
