The 8th Jinan Highland Kimchi and Bossam Festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, November 14–15, 2026, in Jinan, Jeonbuk, South Korea. The organizing Jinan YMCA's official festival overview gives the location as the area in front of Jinan Local Food Store, and the official directions page lists 1166 Jinmu-ro, Jinan-eup, Jinan-gun.
The organizer's announced program categories include freshly made kimchi sold on site, a 'make kimchi for your home' activity and a 1,000-won makgeolli offering. Although this is an autumn festival built around kimchi and bossam, do not assume that every activity is free or that walk-in places are guaranteed. In particular, check the organizer's latest instructions about costs, sign-ups and what to bring for kimchi making.
The official festival website has separate program schedule and directions sections. Consult those pages for the exact date you plan to attend and for any updates on parking or transport before setting off. The organizer's listed contact number is 063-433-6613.
