Gumi Ramen Festival

The Gumi Ramen Festival is a signature local event connecting Gumi’s industry, food culture, and tourism through ramen. Gumi is home to Nongshim’s Gumi plant, one of Korea’s leading ramen manufacturers, and is developing ramen into a regional tourism attraction based on its production industry. Held throughout the old downtown area around Gumi Station, Yeokjeon-ro, Munhwa-ro, Geumridan-gil, and Saemaeul Jungang Market, the festival turns the entire city center into a festival venue. Highlights include the Ramen Restaurant, Freshly Fried Ramen, Got Land, Global Ramen Challenge, Robot Chef, and Fururuk Lounge. Visitors can explore ramen’s diverse flavors and culture through dishes from across Korea and freshly fried noodles. Local restaurants and businesses also take part, linking the festival grounds with the old downtown and supporting the local economy. The 2026 Gumi Ramen Festival presents a uniquely urban tourism event that brings together Gumi’s industry, tourism, food culture, and local businesses through ramen.
