Hello!
Last weekend, I heard about the Makgeolli Festival taking place near Jeongbalsan Station in Goyang City, so I quickly went to check it out!
The 'Goyang City National Makgeolli Festival' offered a unique opportunity to enjoy various types of Makgeolli right in the city center.
With a chance to taste Makgeolli from all over the country and enjoy diverse performances, I couldn't miss it.
Setting up a mat and sitting down made it feel like I was on a distant journey, making it a truly enjoyable event.
Let me tell you more about the Goyang City National Makgeolli Festival!
The official name of the festival is '2026 Goyang City National Makgeolli Festival'. It was held at Ilsan Cultural Square from October 3rd to 4th, Saturday and Sunday.
The enthusiastic reactions from the citizens enjoying the festival made it a memorable experience.
If you traveled by public transport, you could easily get off at Jeongbalsan Station and find the Goyang Tourism Information Center, which is just a short walk from the festival site at Ilsan Cultural Square.
During the festival, around 80 well-known vendors from across the country participated, showcasing and offering tastings of their unique Makgeolli.
The 2026 Goyang City National Makgeolli Festival was a great opportunity to explore without any entry fee, and its proximity to the subway made it very accessible.
Here's what you need to know for enjoying the festival:
1. If you have an interest in Makgeolli, check the 'booth locations' and 'names' displayed throughout the venue and head there first!
2. You can enjoy local delivery food from nearby restaurants while sipping Makgeolli (don't forget to bring a mat!). Just remember, food can only be picked up at designated delivery zones.
3. The festival also featured main stage performances and hands-on experiences, adding to the fun of eating and drinking.
Make sure to check the schedule for different programs throughout the day, ensuring a full day of enjoyment.
If the festival happens again next year, I plan to bring a mat and enjoy a leisurely time. And remember, transportation should be by public transport to enjoy the Makgeolli responsibly!
Lastly, if you're preparing for next year, don't forget to bring:
1. A mat
2. Water and wet wipes
3. A bag for trash
As a shared space, it's essential to clean up after yourself.
The 2026 Goyang City National Makgeolli Festival was a wonderful experience where I discovered local flavors and enjoyed delicious snacks and performances.
Thank you!
