Bangeo Festival (최남단 방어축제)

Bangeo Festival (최남단 방어축제)

Introduction

This popular festival is held every year in November at Moseulpohang Port, the southernmost region of Jeju-do Island. It celebrates ‘Bangeo Fish (yellowtail)’, which is largely caught in this area. The taste of ‘bangeo fish (yellowtail)’ is chewy and tender, and so it is very popular served raw. It is also used in a variety of other dishes. Visitors can enjoy fresh bangeo fish at the festival and take some home.



Visitors can also try fishing and sample Jeju’s other specialty foods such as heukdweji-gogigui (grilled pork), galchijorim (cutlass fish boiled in soy sauce with spices), and more. Don’t forget to admire the beautiful natural sceneries near the festival grounds and explore some of the many popular tourist attractions in Jeju.
