Notes on the 2025 edition
About 400,000 visitors over three days (organizer). Theme 'A global festival of Yeoju's tradition and abundance'. The 'Chukjipsa' app offered live crowd and parking guidance and QR payment. On 4 November the foundation apologised after one visiting group in the Korea–China exchange performed in front of Chinese military parade footage, and said it would review how groups are recruited.
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.
