Overview

The 22nd Sanbuk Pumsil Festival has established itself as a representative festival of Yeoju over 22 years. The 22nd Sanbuk Pumsil Festival is held under the sub-theme 'Sanbuk AI Kimjang Culture Festival.' Kimjang is a food culture that represents Korea and a precious tradition through which families and neighbors share affection together. Kimjang culture, inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013, embodies the community spirit of making and sharing together. The Sanbuk AI Kimjang Culture Festival carries on this traditional kimjang culture while incorporating technology, creating a new type of kimjang festival that anyone can easily and enjoyably participate in. By bringing together fresh local produce and cutting-edge technology, the festival is creating a special experience where visitors can enjoy kimjang while also discovering the value of local agriculture and the possibilities of future agriculture.

    Icheon Ginseng Health Festival

    Oct 9 – Oct 11, 2026

    The Icheon Ginseng Festival began in 2015 to promote the premium ginseng grown in Icheon, Korea's largest ginseng-producing region. To grow into the leading ginseng health festival in the Seoul metropolitan area by combining ginseng with the theme of health, it was renamed the Icheon Ginseng Health Festival starting in 2025. 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.
