Program
- Under review for 2027 (Jeju Province, 6 Oct 2026): a pasture-burning program and trekking on Saebyeol Oreum
Notes on the 2027 edition
The hill-wide oreum burning remains abolished; whether any real grass burning returns in 2027 is undecided, and the budget is a proposal awaiting council approval. A councillor questioned the cost (about ₩13,000 per visitor) and the festival's identity at the October 2026 audit.
About the festival
The Jeju Fire Festival (제주들불축제) is Jeju City's March festival at Saebyeol Oreum, a 519 m grassy volcanic cone in Aewol-eup, rooted in the island's old custom of burning off dead pasture. The famous burning of the whole hillside was abolished in 2023; in 2026 the slope was lit instead by a laser, fireworks and media-art 'digital fire', alongside torch parades and a bonfire. The 2026 edition ran 9–14 March with free entry; 2027 is expected in March, but no dates had been announced by 18 October 2026.
Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Jeju Fire Festival page, which covers every edition.
