Goseong Pollack Festival

The Goseong Pollack Festival is a regional cultural festival that offers a modern reinterpretation of pollack culture, a historical and cultural asset of Goseong-gun, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. In 2026, set against the backdrop of the beach in 11-ri, Geojin-eup, the festival will operate three distinct zones: "Discovery of Pollack," "Discovery of Residents," and "Discovery of the Sea." Programs designed to allow visitors to eat, create, and enjoy pollack will be provided, including a pollack gourmet zone, chef live cooking, self-cooking experiences, and pollack-themed crafts and games. Local residents, artists, military personnel, and youth will directly participate in performances, village broadcasting, food stalls, and souvenir sales, while visitors can also enjoy beach activities such as bare-handed live fish catching, a sea playground, and a silent DJ. Through decentralized stages, continuous programs, and shuttle services, the festival will be designed as a stay-type venue where visitors can enjoy themselves regardless of when they arrive.
