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.
