Why it matters now

The three-day festival opens October 9. Local culture, food and family activities are the main draw. A separate official notice lists free jujube-kombucha workshops at Yeonsan Culture Warehouse for ages 15+, capped at 15 per session with advance registration: October 9 and 11 at 13:00–14:30 and 15:00–16:30; none on October 10. Remaining spaces were not verified. Three Naver posts by different authors dated October 4, 6 and 8 were compared; all were pre-event guides and therefore do not establish this year’s on-site atmosphere, queues or parking. They converge on performances, food and family activities. HoSu News reports 10:00–21:00 opening hours, but the official city calendar does not confirm them, so they are not presented as verified hours. No official attendance estimate or scale figure was found. HoSu News also reports a shuttle between Yeonsan Market and the festival, 10:00–20:30 every 20 minutes, but this could not be independently verified in current official transport guidance; recheck before relying on it.
