Yeoju Ogoknaru Festival 2026

A three-day autumn festival at the Silleuksa Temple Resort in Yeoju, October 23–25, 2026, built around Yeoju rice, sweet potatoes and the history of local produce being shipped through Jopo Quay as royal tribute during the Joseon dynasty. Current official listings confirm 10:00–21:00 hours and free admission. English and Japanese KTO pages list a royal tribute parade, Yeoju-rice bibimbap, roasted sweet-potato activities and Nakhwanori, while the Korean government listing cautions that some 2026 food details are still being updated.

Why it matters now

This is useful for travelers who want Korean food culture with historical and regional context rather than a generic food market. Plan around the confirmed dates, venue and hours, and treat individual menus or program details as subject to revision until closer to the festival.
