20th Gijang Conger Eel Festival 2026 — Chilam Port
October 16–18, 2026 at working Chilam Port in Ilgwang, Gijang County, Busan. Gijang County confirms the opening ceremony on Friday October 16 at 18:00. The festival presents local conger-eel food culture, with food experiences and entertainment advertised; exact tasting, activity slots, prices and capacity require the organizer's detailed schedule. This is not the separate October 9–11 Gijang Culture & Tourism Festa at Gijang Eupseong and Imrang Beach. Three calendar dates do not mean three full days of open access or free food.

The festival is upcoming as of October 11, linking Chilam's working fishing-port culture with its conger-eel specialty. Confirm the final timetable, any reservation, bad-weather changes and the last bus before traveling. Some secondary listings mention tasting and fireworks sessions; those precise slots are unverified against the organizer's downloadable timetable.
