About the festival
The Jeonju Makgeolli Festival is a free two-night rice-wine festival in Jeonju, Jeonbuk State, where local breweries and houses from the Samcheon-dong Makgeolli Alley pour Jeonju makgeolli with side dishes, alongside traditional performances and a retro DJ party. The third edition runs Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October 2026 at the main sports ground of Jeonju Vision University, 15:00–22:00 on both days. Entry is free, and drinks and food are paid at the booths. From Seoul, take the KTX from Yongsan to Jeonju (about 1 h 40 m, ₩31,600), then a taxi to the campus.
