About: Food festivals in South Korea

The Food Festivals of South Korea are a compilation of celebrations that provide insight into Korea's cuisine and culture. They range from traditional to modern food, with dishes often featuring local ingredients of the region. These events seek to retain Korean cultural identity, raise awareness, promote local produce and cuisine, as well as the Korean food industry. Over time, some dishes like Chimaek, and the festivals themselves, became a part of modern Korean culture and were further popularized by K-dramas. Some popular food festivals are the Daegu Chimac festival, and the Jeonju Bibimbap Festival
