About this event

The 'Wanju Wild & Local Food Festival,' the representative festival of Wanju-gun, is a festival that everyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy amidst Wanju's pristine nature. It offers unique 'wild' experiences not found in daily life, as well as healthy local food as the premier destination for local cuisine. Under the slogan "Burning Wild," the 2026 festival features representative programs such as blazing wood-fired oven grilling, local bushcraft, potato samgut, and large-scale fire-themed events. In addition, visitors can experience memories, nostalgia, escape, and healing all at once, along with the autumnal atmosphere, through nature-inspired 'wild' playgrounds like Sirangcheon water play and straw house slides, 'local meals' prepared with care by chefs from the women's associations of 13 towns and villages, a direct sales market for agricultural specialties, and a Wild Wild & Local Food EDM music party.
