Notes on the 2023 edition

About the festival

The Yesan Apple Festival (예산사과축제) is a free two-day harvest festival for the apples of Yesan, Chungcheongnam-do, held in 2026 around the Yedangho suspension bridge, a 402 m footbridge over Yedang Reservoir. The 23rd edition runs Friday 30 October (10:00–20:00) and Saturday 31 October 2026 (10:00–18:00), with a discounted growers' apple sale, apple games, music and fireworks over the lake. From Seoul, Janghang Line trains from Yongsan reach Yesan Station in 1 h 44 m–1 h 59 m (from ₩8,300); the bridge is about 6 km beyond the town centre, so finish by taxi.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Yesan Apple Festival page, which covers every edition.
