1. What is the 2026 KT Wiz Water Festival?

It's a signature festival that KT Wiz has been holding ever since their first-team debut in 2015!

 

During the game, if a hit or a home run is hit, massive streams of cool water shoot out from all sides of the baseball stadium!

 

It’s basically a water park itself, so it’s a unique summer getaway where you can kill two birds with one stone by watching baseball and playing in the water. Plus, once the game ends, the lights go out and a mini-concert featuring ultra-luxury artists follows, so there’s really no reason not to go, right?

2. Amazing Matchups! Water Festival Competition Schedule

This year's Water Festival will take place over a total of four Home Series events from late July to mid-August! Let's make a mental note of the schedule on our calendars.

 

Match 1: July 21 (Tue) – July 23 (Thu) vs Doosan Bears

Match 2: July 31 (Fri) – August 2 (Sun) vs Hanwha Eagles

Game 3: August 7 (Fri) – August 9 (Sun) vs Lotte Giants

Game 4 (Finale): August 14 (Fri) – August 16 (Sun) vs Kiwoom Heroes

Drinking beer at the baseball stadium and getting splashed with water as a weekday after-work treat would seriously make all my stress vanish...

5. Essential Tips for Properly Enjoying Warfare

They spray water like crazy, so if you go carelessly, you're likely to end up looking like a drowned rat! I'll list the essential items you absolutely must bring.

 

Spare clothes & underwear: There are rumors that your clothes will get completely soaked, so a change of clothes is essential.

Towels & Plastic Bags: Make sure to bring a Ziploc bag or a large plastic bag to put your wet clothes in!

Smartphone Waterproof Case: It’s heartbreaking if your precious phone gets waterlogged, so let’s order a waterproof case online in advance.

Hats & Goggles: Wearing a baseball cap or clear goggles is a tip from real baseball experts to keep your eyes open when water is pouring down from above!

 

6. Questions Solved! KT Wiz Water Festival Q&A

Q1. Is water sprayed throughout the entire baseball stadium?

A1. No! The water cannons are concentrated mainly on the designated infield cheering seats (near the Orange Seats) where the cheering platform is located! If you want to quietly watch the game and don't want to get soaked, I recommend booking seats in the outfield, center designated seats, or table seats. On the other hand, if you want to get properly drenched in water bombs and go crazy, you absolutely must succeed in getting tickets for the infield cheering seats!

 

Q2. What happens to the mini-concert or ceremonial first pitch if it is canceled due to rain?

A2. According to KBO regulations, if a game is cancelled due to rain, the game itself is postponed. Therefore, the ceremonial first pitch and mini-concert scheduled for that date may also be cancelled or rescheduled. It is highly recommended to check the team's official social media announcements in real-time!

 

Q3. Will Hwang Jae-gyun's retirement ceremony definitely be held on August 8th?

A3. The retirement ceremonial first pitch is confirmed for Saturday, August 8th! Usually, the official retirement ceremony is held before or after the game on the day of the first pitch, so if you want to see Hwang Jae-kyun's final appearance, you absolutely must get on the ticket line for that day.

 

Q4. If I don't bring supplies, can I buy them at the baseball stadium?

A4. Although merchandise shops near the stadium or inside Wiz Park do sell raincoats and simple waterproof goods, they are very likely to sell out and are a bit expensive, so it is best to prepare them in advance if possible!
