About the festival
The Yeoju Ogok Naru Festival (여주오곡나루축제) is a free three-day harvest festival at the Silleuksa temple resort beside the Namhan River in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do, built around Yeoju rice and sweet potatoes and the Joseon-era tribute boats that left from the Jopo ferry. The 2026 edition runs 23–25 October, 10:00–21:00, with a tribute parade, cauldron-cooked bibimbap, free roasted sweet potatoes and a different riverside night show each evening, including nakhwa fire-falling on 24 October. From Seoul, take the Gyeonggang Line from Pangyo to Yeoju Station (about 48 minutes), then a bus or taxi.
