The Icheon Ginseng Health Festival is a special festival where, amid the atmosphere of autumn, visitors can enjoy ginseng as well as take care of their health, offering an affordable shopping opportunity to see and purchase high-quality Icheon ginseng with its deep, rich aroma. It also offers visitors participatory content in the form of health and play experiences using ginseng — such as a ginseng product evaluation fair, ginseng health kimchi-making experience, and ginseng foot bath — where people of all ages and genders can see and enjoy ginseng while taking care of their health. Colorful stage performances by invited singers and events such as a ginseng auction with visitors add to the festival's excitement, and it is one of Icheon's representative festivals, where visitors can taste healthy foods made with freshly harvested ginseng, such as fried ginseng and ginseng makgeolli.
