Daegu iM Bank Park

6th Daegu Tteokbokki Festival 2026

Daegu Buk-gu’s 6th Tteokbokki Festival runs October 23–25, 2026, around Daegu iM Bank Park. The Ministry of Culture lists daily hours as 11:00–21:30 and admission as free. On October 6, Buk-gu described this year’s approach as “3 No’s” (no formal ceremony, celebrity-led acts or long queues) and “3 Yeses” (intergenerational appeal, visitor participation and local partnership). Planned features include games, dance, quizzes and Bbogi-character activities, plus an improved “Come In” QR ordering system. A report on October 6 said attendance exceeded 330,000 last year, but did not explain the counting method. Buk-gu says it will not commission a separate attendance-counting study for 2026, directing that budget to visitor convenience and onsite operations. Vendor names are due October 12; the lineup, detailed timetable and transport/parking plan are not yet confirmed.
