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. The 25th edition ran 14–18 October 2026 at a new riverside site, Bokhacheon Waterside Park, with shuttles from Icheon Station. 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.
