The '2026 Dangjin Haenaru Yellow Soil Sweet Potato Promotion Event,' where visitors can enjoy Dangjin's representative agricultural specialty—yellow soil sweet potatoes—with all five senses, is an excellent regional festival filled with the abundance and sweetness of autumn. Having started in 2018, it is now approaching its ninth edition. Grown in superior yellow soil teeming with diverse microorganisms and exposed to the sea breeze of the West Coast, Haenaru sweet potatoes are beloved by many consumers for their exceptional sweetness and fluffy texture. The event features a variety of programs that everyone, regardless of age, can enjoy. The event is packed with activities, ranging from a direct sales market where freshly harvested yellow soil sweet potatoes can be purchased at prices lower than market rates, to food booths offering treats like fried sweet potatoes, and hands-on craft activities such as sweet potato digging for children. Furthermore, exhibitions of Dangjin's diverse high-quality local specialties and cultural performances blend together to provide an even richer array of attractions. It is the best autumn festival where you can create sweet memories with family and loved ones while feeling the warm atmosphere of the countryside and savoring healthy and delicious sweet potatoes.
