Notes on the 2023 edition

Presumably the 2nd edition. Dates from a county festival round-up published in August 2023; no report from the event itself was opened. The chrysanthemum exhibition ran 14–29 Oct that year, so the two did not overlap.

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.
