About the festival

The Haenam Minam Festival (해남미남축제; 'minam', 味南, means 'taste of the south') is a three-day food festival of Haenam's farm and sea produce, held in Duryunsan Provincial Park on the road to Daeheungsa Temple in Haenam, Jeollanam-do. Haenam County has announced the 2026 edition for Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November, with Haenam rice as its theme and, this year, no opening ceremony, township parade or VIP seating. Hours and prices for 2026 have not been published; in 2025 it ran 10:00–21:00 with free entry, and food and some hands-on programs were paid. Direct express buses from Seoul Central City Terminal take about 4 h 26 m (₩46,200), then a 20-minute local bus.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Haenam Minam Festival page, which covers every edition.
