Parking near the festival venue during the event period can be difficult, and vehicle access to the festival grounds is completely restricted. We recommend parking at Muju Agricultural and Industrial Complex Parking Lots 1 and 2 and using the shuttle bus. The distance from the parking lot to the festival venue is 2.2km, which takes about 5 minutes by shuttle bus or 30 minutes on foot.

You can see late fireflies until mid-October. We'll introduce a way to enjoy the firefly experience with your kids or parents even after the Muju Firefly Festival ends.
Shhh~ It's a secret!! You can find them at the location below. They appear about an hour after sunset and light up for 1-2 hours before returning to the forest.
