광주김치축제

*The festival details below are from the previous year (2025), and the 2026 festival details are being updated.* Since ancient times, Gwangju has been blessed by nature and has grown into a city known for great food, with plains, mountains, fields, and the sea spreading around the Yeongsangang River. Among its specialties, Gwangju kimchi is so rich in flavor and atmosphere that it is known by its own name as Jeolla-do kimchi and Gwangju kimchi. Gwangju kimchi is characterized by generous seasoning with ingredients such as salted anchovy sauce, glutinous rice paste, and whole sesame seeds, along with various vegetables. Selecting fresh ingredients, preparing them carefully by hand, making them in the most basic way, and adding a personal touch by hand are what make Gwangju kimchi special. The Gwangju World Kimchi Festival is a place where our unique food culture and traditions centered on kimchi meet citizen experiences, and as Korea's leading kimchi festival, it is a festival everyone can enjoy together. It is a truly valuable festival where production, promotion, and exchange between kimchi producers and consumers happen at the same time.
