Imsil N Cheese Festival 2026
The 2026 Imsil N Cheese Festival runs October 8–11 across Imsil Cheese Theme Park, Imsil Cheese Village and Imsil town. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism lists daily festival hours as 09:00–20:00 and general admission as free; experiences may cost extra. Imsil County Tourism lists the opening ceremony for October 8 at 18:00 at the special stage in Imsil-eup (between Baekje Pharmacy and the registry-office intersection). Official programs include cheese-making, rice-pizza and fondue activities, a parade, performances and contests, a kids’ area and nighttime events. On October 8, the cheese-quality-preference tasting at the History and Culture Hall is scheduled for 13:00 and 15:00, with the first 50 people at each session (100 total). Imsil County says temporary Culture Nuri Card merchants will operate at 48 festival locations, including booths, local-produce sales and experiences inside the theme park. Check the county notice’s attached merchant list or on-site conditions to confirm participating vendors and eligible purchases. The official parking page lists eight planned lots totaling 3,400 spaces and advises drivers to divert to Imsil-eup and use the shuttle if festival-area lots are full. This is planned capacity, not guaranteed same-day availability.
