Yeongju Apple Festival

The 2026 Yeongju Apple Festival is an autumn festival where visitors can enjoy the finest quality Yeongju apples, grown in Yeongju's clean natural environment, with all five senses. This year's festival delivers the taste and charm of Yeongju apples both at the production area and in the city center at the same time. It will be held from October 30 to November 1 at Miro Park in Buseok-myeon, and from November 13 to 15, an event will also be held at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul. Yeongju apples are characterized by their high sugar content and crisp texture, thanks to the large diurnal temperature range and abundant sunshine. At the festival site, various experience programs, exhibitions of different apple varieties, and an apple market will be held. A variety of tasting events and cultural performances will also be prepared. Visitors can enjoy the autumn scenery along with Buseoksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Combining the freshness of apples shipped directly from the production area with exciting performances and events, it is a bountiful harvest festival that offers enjoyable memories for people of all ages. It is a great opportunity to experience Yeongju's renowned autumn scenery, as well as the finest quality Yeongju apples and abundant attractions with all five senses, right in the heart of Seoul.

The Yeongju Apple Festival celebrates the region's high-sugar, crisp apples, grown thanks to Yeongju's big day-night temperature swings and strong sunshine. Visitors get apple tastings, variety exhibitions, an apple market, hands-on experience programs, and cultural performances, plus easy access to nearby Buseoksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for autumn scenery.

The festival site is at Miro Park in Buseok-myeon, Yeongju-si, in North Gyeongsang Province (region code 35). From Seoul, take an intercity train or express/intercity bus toward Yeongju, then connect by local bus or taxi to Buseok-myeon, as the venue is outside the main city center. If travel to Yeongju isn't possible, a related event will also be held November 13-15 at Cheonggye Plaza in central Seoul.
