Why go
This free fair focuses on environmental education, with hands-on themed experience booths, an exhibition area, and a pledge photo zone, plus a special lecture on 30 October and a celebrity lecture alongside the Jeju Environmental Education Learning Center programme on 31 October. It is organized by the Jeju Environmental Education Center with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and 22 partner organizations, and it is open to residents and visitors alike.
Getting there from Seoul
Jeju is an island, so the trip from Seoul is by domestic flight rather than train or bus. Flights run frequently from Gimpo Airport (around one hour) to Jeju International Airport, which is also in Jeju-si. From the airport, a taxi or local bus can reach the venue area near Jeju Venture Maru, the Jeju Economic and Trade Promotion Agency, and Suun Neighborhood Park in Ido 2(i)-dong.
Tips
- Admission is free and open to anyone interested, not just Jeju residents.
- Plan your visit day based on the programme: the special lecture is on 30 October, while the celebrity lecture and Learning Center programme run on 31 October.
- The venue is split across several nearby sites (Jeju Venture Maru, the Trade Promotion Agency, and Suun Neighborhood Park), so allow time to walk between them.
Best for: families, students, environmental education.

2026 5th Jeju Biennale Heokkeugok Modakchigok Iyahong: The Art of Transformation
Aug 25 – Nov 15, 2026
The civilization that blossomed on Jeju, a volcanic island on the Eurasian plate, flowed in not only from the sea but also arrived from the continental civilizations of the north. All manner of elements scattered and gathered on Jeju, mingling and transforming to shape today's ecology, geography, and way of life on Jeju. Now entering its 10th year, the 5th Jeju Biennale focuses on Jeju's dynamic process of encountering northern civilizations, scattering (heokkeuda), gathering (modakchida), and transforming (iyahong). To this end, the Biennale takes as its thematic word and core concept 'Iyahong,' the refrain of the Iyahong Taryeong, a folk song that flowed in from the mainland and became another indigenous folk song of Jeju. Through Jeju, where the principles of climate and sustenance are embedded, the Jeju Biennale seeks to present the ways of survival and the aesthetics shaped together by objects, nature, human life, and divinity.

Southernmost Amberjack Festival
Nov 19 – Nov 22, 2026
This festival connects 'Jeju's sea, land, and people' as one, linking the winter flavor produced by Jeju's pristine seas—amberjack—with the excellence of local specialties such as garlic and potatoes into a single festival, raising brand value and revitalizing the local economy through increased tourist inflow and expanded consumption. By creating experience, culture, and performance programs that residents and tourists participate in and enjoy together, it forms a venue for harmony that transcends generations and regions, highlighting the symbolic significance of the area as the southernmost point of South Korea, and raising the region's brand value through differentiated content to foster the 'Southernmost Amberjack Festival' as South Korea's leading marine and fisheries tourism festival. Starting from the sea and extending into the village, the Southernmost Amberjack Festival is one where the joy of the festival carries over into the vitality of the local economy.
