Hoengseong Doggye Festival
횡성더덕축제
This September 11-13 festival celebrates doggye, a precious mountain vegetable cultivated in Hoengseong's pristine nature, under the theme 'Delicious Doggye, Joyful Festival, Vibrant Cheongil.' Local farmers showcase their harvests and regional agricultural products through sales and exhibition booths. Visitors enjoy dance competitions, cooking workshops highlighting this refined vegetable (including doggye bibimbap), and entertaining games such as doggye prospecting and adapted Olympic-style competitions. Opening and closing ceremonies feature performances, while residents and local merchants enrich the celebration of regional agricultural heritage.

🎟️ 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.
