Chuncheon Makguksu and Dakgalbi Festival (KTO)
Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, will stage its signature food festival as a five-day event this year, expanding the program beyond the festival grounds.
The 2026 Chuncheon Makguksu & Dakgalbi Festival runs Oct. 14-18 at Gongjicheon. Admission is free, though food is sold separately, with dakgalbi priced at 9,900 won and makguksu at 6,900 won.
The festival drew more than 300,000 visitors over four days last year, its first at the Gongjicheon site.

Organizers have added a day to the run and increased participating restaurants from 15 to 20, comprising 12 dakgalbi vendors and eight makguksu vendors.
The picnic and camping-style dining areas will be enlarged, alongside free horseback riding offered with the Korea Racing Authority, a wooden playground and augmented reality attractions built around the two dishes. Performances staged under the theme "Setting the Table with Chuncheon Culture" will run daily.

Programming extends to the Myeong-dong and Soyang Art Circle, where local artists will present mime, puppetry and dance. Shoppers who present receipts from Myeong-dong merchants receive discounts at the festival food stalls.
For international visitors, the city plans an expanded international pavilion featuring foreign chefs, foreign-language assistance and travel packages sold through Klook, KKday and Trip.com. Shuttle buses will connect the site to major attractions.
