25th edition. KTO's listing gives the end date as 23 December 2025, apparently a slip for 23 November.
About the festival
The Moseulpo Southernmost Yellowtail Festival (최남단방어축제) is a four-day harbour festival at Moseulpo Port in Daejeong-eup, on the southwest tip of Jeju, built around bangeo (Japanese amberjack, sold in English as yellowtail), which fattens in these waters from November. The 26th edition runs 19–22 November 2026 (Thursday to Sunday): the dates are confirmed on the organizer's site (bangeofestival.com), which announced the festival on 3 September 2026. Daily hours, fees and the 2026 programme are not yet confirmed. Entry is usually free, with bare-hand catching and sea-cage fishing paid (roughly ₩20,000 each); express bus 151 from Jeju Airport takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Moseulpo Southernmost Yellowtail Festival page, which covers every edition.
