Gumi Food Festival
구미푸드페스티벌
Launched in October 2022 to support residents and small businesses emerging from the pandemic, this food festival celebrates Gumi's culinary diversity in a festive downtown setting. Featuring approximately 200 menu options across nine thematic zones—food imports, gourmet markets, bakeries and cafés, Asian cuisines, local restaurants, traditional alcohol, fusion (kimchi-beer), children's food, and grilled meats—the festival offers something for everyone. Lively performances, family activities including cooking classes, costume contests, and entertainment create an atmosphere of joy and discovery, making it one of Gumi's signature festivals.

🎟️ 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.

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.
