South Korea's Unification Ministry says the ceremony will be held just North of the inter-Korean border on December 26th.
President Moon Jae-in and leader Kim Jong-un agreed earlier this year to upgrade North Korea's railways and connect them with the South's modern system.
Next week, the two Koreas will wrap up a joint survey of North Korea's aging rail system.
But there are concerns any construction could violate international sanctions against North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
