Three cities, three different kinds of food trip
In the first week of November 2026, Food Week Korea in Seoul, the Jinju International Agri-Food Expo and the Gumi Ramyeon Festival offer different experiences. Choose one city and one interest rather than treating them as stops in a single neighborhood.
Seoul: food industry and international tastes
Food Week Korea runs November 4–7 at Coex. Hours are 10:00–18:00 November 4–6 and 10:00–17:00 November 7; admission closes one hour earlier. Conditional free access for overseas visitors is not the same as free admission for everyone. Foreign pre-registration closed at 15:00 on November 3, but the official guide describes on-site overseas registration with valid identification.
Jinju: agriculture and food
The Jinju International Agri-Food Expo is listed for November 4–8 at Jinju Sports Complex. The national calendar confirms dates and location, not the daily activity schedule, charges, reservation requirements or opening hours.
Gumi: a bowl of noodles and live performances
The Gumi Ramyeon Festival runs November 6–8 around Gumi Station. The organizer advertises a Soup Lab & Self-Cooking Zone, a show on November 6 at 18:30 and a stage on November 7 at 19:00. Individual show times do not define the overall festival hours.
Decide by interest and departure date
Choose Seoul for a major food-industry exhibition, Jinju for an agricultural-food setting, or Gumi for playful noodle experiences. Note the different ending dates: November 7 for Seoul and November 8 for the other two. The cities are far apart, so this is not a one-day three-stop itinerary. Check train or bus travel time, prices and remaining event capacity separately.
