2026 Gwangju Culinary Week is a gastronomic festival connecting South Jeolla's rich food culture and local culinary resources with vibrant tourism content. Ingredients, food, people, spaces, and culture interweave into a unique culinary ecosystem where visitors experience Gwangju's distinctive food heritage in depth. Master craftspeople who have preserved local flavors for decades, young chefs reinterpreting traditional tastes with contemporary sensibility, and culinary activists committed to sustainable practices gather in one place. Beyond simply tasting food, the festival guides visitors on a special journey where raw ingredients become dishes and dishes unfold into regional stories. The opening ceremony at historic hanok Ogaheun launches the festival with flair. For only 10 days—October 2–11—Discount Week collaborates with South Korea's premier restaurant guide Blue Ribbon Survey to offer verified dining experiences and exclusive benefits. Yanglim Spoon Week in the historic Yanglim district showcases Gwangju's finest culinary establishments. Signature sustainability events include 'Look, Taste, Learn: Diverse Culinary Experiences' exploring varied food culture and new initiatives, and 'Look, Taste, Learn: Vegan Culinary Journey' discovering eco-friendly food practices. A promotional booth at the National Asian Culture Center's Asian Culture Week highlights the festival, while accessible online events amplify momentum.
