Pyeongchang Nonggak and Mountain Food Festival
평창농악·산골푸드축제
This festival celebrates the vibrant nonggak (farmers' music and dance) of Pyeongchang, a regional intangible cultural heritage, in its heartland of Yongpyeong. Now in its sixth year, it features dynamic performances and hands-on experiences centered on traditional nonggak, combined with hearty mountain cuisine. Visitors can enjoy barbecued dishes cooked in traditional clay pots and grilled skewers, participate in folk craft workshops such as straw weaving, explore traditional instruments, and watch various performances including energetic music and theater pieces. The festival captures Pyeongchang's autumn spirit through the spirited rhythm of nonggak and the region's warm hospitality.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site
- 1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
- 2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
- 3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
- 4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.
💡 Good to know
When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
