Notes on the 2026 edition

Theme: Haenam rice. Haenam County's announcement (iNews24, 13 Oct 2026; also CNB News and The Leader) drops the opening ceremony, the township parade and VIP seating this year, so the parade listed in a 1 Sep 2026 Travie Magazine feature will not take place. Hours and prices were not in the announcement; the performers were named in a 21 Oct 2026 report (Asia News Agency). Selected as a 2026 Jeollanam-do representative festival for the fifth year running, in the 'promising' tier with ₩10 million in provincial support.

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.
