2026 Jinan Highland Food Festa Ended on October 25

The Jinan Highland Food Festa listed for October 24–25, 2026 at Jinan Public Stadium has ended. Chef demonstrations and food competitions were part of that past edition, not currently available activities.

Why it matters now

On October 27, KTO's official Jeolla listing displayed the dates and an ended status, so this guide has been corrected to historical information.

Before deciding to visit

The article changed after this brief was checked; reconfirm the details.

The 2026 Jinan Highland Food Festa was listed at Jinan Public Stadium (35 Gunha-ri, Jinan-eup) on October 24–25. Its advertised program included live chef battles, highland food presentations, cooking shows and a national university student cooking competition.

Current status: As of October 27, 2026, the Korea Tourism Organization's Travel Month Jeolla directory marks this edition ended. The former wording that the festival 'will take place' is no longer current. Do not assume its food stalls or demonstrations are still operating.

For future visits: Check the official organizer's announcement for any new edition and separately verify entry terms, food service, parking and transportation. This article records the 2026 event and is not a booking notice for an upcoming festival.
