Ulsan Youth Week 2026, themed "Full Bloom of Youth," will be held Friday and Saturday at Taehwagang Sports Park and Jongha Innovation Center.

On Friday, the program will include U-Stage, a live music showcase featuring local young musicians, along with commendations for contributions to youth policy, a celebratory performance and a youth networking session.

On Saturday morning, Jongha Innovation Center will host Youth Salon "Listening, Asking About Life" — a roundtable bringing the city mayor face to face with young residents. That afternoon at Taehwagang Sports Park, the schedule will feature a youth policy proposal competition, U-Pitch — a startup pitch event where young entrepreneurs present their ventures — and Youth Salon "Leap, Expanding Life," hosted by Lee So-yeon, a certified labor attorney turned travel YouTuber.

Standing programs throughout the event will include a youth market run by young creators, a youth counseling booth operated by youth-related organizations, a policy promotion corner called "Flower Pharmacy" aimed at easing worries and building hope, a virtual reality experience zone prepared by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) to help visitors manage anxiety and stress, an escape-room game titled "The Great Escape: Ulsan Youth Drift" in which participants hunt for hidden policy clues around the venue, and a 360-degree photo zone.
