The 'original' of the KBO League's midsummer night festival, KT Wiz's Water Festival, has officially kicked off again this year.

KT Club announced that it launched the '2026 KT Water Festival' during a home game against the Doosan Bears held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 21st. Since its first year in the first division in 2015, KT has been the first professional baseball team to transform its stadium into a water park, offering fans a unique baseball viewing experience through this event.

This year, the fun was further enhanced. A total of 25 water cannons were installed across all designated cheering seats on the first-base side infield and in the outfield, an increase of five from last year. Additionally, a new standing water zone was created in the left-field area. Furthermore, cooling zones and dry zones, which are available to all spectators during the Water Festival period, were installed at the first-base and third-base exits and in the Sky Zone to provide a comfortable viewing environment.

On this day, Lee-b, a member of the girl group LUNARS from Suwon, threw the ceremonial first pitch, while Me-a served as the ceremonial batter.

According to KT Club, spectator Min Seon-woo (30, resident of Suwon) said, "It wasn't just about getting splashed with water; new attractions and events were added, allowing us to create even more special summer night memories this year. I'm even more excited because I heard there will be performances by various artists. Thank you for preparing an event where fans can laugh and enjoy together as they do now."

Child spectator Park Chae-i (7, resident of Suwon) said, "I often come to the baseball stadium with my dad, but this time it felt like I was at a swimming pool because we were dancing while getting splashed. It's memorable that we sang songs together with other people in between."

The 2026 KT Water Festival is scheduled to run for a total of 12 sessions until August 16, and 'Wiz Live' performances will be held after weekend home games conclude. Popular artists including YB, Hyolyn, and Cheongha are set to hold mini-concerts, offering fans special memories.
