About the festival
The Icheon Rice Cultural Festival is a five-day harvest festival in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, south-east of Seoul, built around the town's rice, once a royal tribute.

No admission fee is listed; the signature cauldron bibimbap costs ₩2,000. Go for rice for 2,000 people cooked in one 320 kg iron pot.
