Jeonju Festa, an integrated festival showcasing the best of Jeonju’s culture, will run for a month in October 2024 at Jeonju Stadium under the theme, “October, a more delicious Jeonju!”

This event brings together various local festivals, highlighting Jeonju’s rich culinary, cultural, and artistic heritage.

The festival is divided into three main themes: Taste, Style, and Passion.

Visitors can enjoy Jeonju’s signature dishes, including bibimbap, traditional snacks, and a variety of local liquors at the ‘Sool BOX.’ For style enthusiasts, there will be a Hanji fashion show, reading culture experiences, and special performances like the K-Musical Madang Changgeuk and a large-scale drone show.

The Passion segment features vibrant events such as the opening and closing performances, a ‘Joseon Pop’ concert merging traditional and modern music, traditional games, and a retro club for late-night entertainment.

Every weekend, unique experiences will be offered with the festival being held from October 3 to 26.
