Jeonju city said the 2026 Jeonju Makgeolli Festival will be held on Oct 23 and 24 at the main stadium of Jeonju Vision University in the North Jeolla province city, running from 17:00 to 22:00 on both days. Yonhap, which reported the city's announcement on Oct 6, and Asia Economy both carried the dates, venue and hours. [ 1 , 3 ]
The festival is being held for the third time, having started in 2024, and the city said last year's edition drew about 20,000 visitors. It is being held under the slogan “Drunk on Jeonju makgeolli under the autumn moonlight”, according to Yonhap. [ 1 , 3 ]
Nineteen businesses are taking part — seven main shops from the Samcheon-dong makgeolli alley, four local breweries and eight food vendors — and the programme includes makgeolli tasting and sales, busking performances and experience programmes for visitors. [ 1 , 3 ]
Asia Economy described the makgeolli alley as known for a food culture in which a single order of makgeolli comes with a spread of accompanying dishes, and wrote that the festival is meant to mix the autumn evening, the drink and Jeonju's food. It credited the festival poster to the Jeonju city government. [ 3 ]
The city said it intends the festival not to be a one-off, and to lead visitors to the Samcheon-dong makgeolli alley, local restaurants and breweries. “Please enjoy makgeolli and performances on an autumn night and experience Jeonju's own makgeolli culture,” Jeong Seung-won, head of the city's civil and social economy division, was quoted as saying, adding that safety and substance would come first and that the festival would be prepared to help the local commercial district.

Newsis carried the event in a headline pointing to the Oct 23-24 dates and the autumn-moonlight theme; the article text filed with that document concerns an unrelated Supreme Court story, so it supplied no further festival detail. [ 2 ]
Почему это важно
This is a two-day, city-run food and culture event, and Jeonju is presenting it as a fixture of its autumn calendar that should draw visitors into the Samcheon-dong makgeolli alley and nearby businesses. The documents describe a domestic, local-scale festival with no stated international element, so its relevance outside the country is limited.

Пока неясно
- Whether the Newsis report carried additional festival details beyond its headline. The article text filed with the Newsis document concerns an unrelated Supreme Court story and does not match its festival headline, so only the headline and the dates could be used.
- The performance line-up, entry conditions and expected attendance for this year's edition. The documents list busking performances and visitor programmes but give no names or figures for this year.
- Whether the previous two editions were held at the same venue. The documents state only the 2026 venue.
