Notes on the 2022 edition

Theme 'A bountiful farm-produce market with healthy yulmu, the pride of Yeoncheon' (연천의 자랑 건강 율무와 함께하는 풍요로운 농특산물 큰 장터). Presumably the 1st edition under this name, counting back from the 3rd in 2024 and the 4th in 2025.

About the festival

The Yeoncheon Job's Tears Festival (연천율무축제) is a free three-day farm market built around yulmu, or Job's tears, a grain of which Yeoncheon grows about 60% of Korea's supply. It is held at the Jeongok-ri Prehistoric Site in Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon, in northern Gyeonggi-do. The 5th edition runs 23–25 October 2026, 10:00–17:00, on the final weekend of the Yeoncheon Chrysanthemum Festival on the same grounds. Take Seoul Subway Line 1 to Jeongok Station, then a short bus or taxi ride.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Yeoncheon Job's Tears Festival page, which covers every edition.
