Published programme

The Jeungpyeong Insamgol Festival is a major local festival held each autumn in Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, combining cultural and artistic performances, hands-on programmes, exhibitions and competitions. Jeungpyeong accounts for about 2 out of 3 parts of the province’s ginseng production and has long developed as a centre of ginseng cultivation and distribution. The festival promotes local ginseng and red-ginseng pork across Korea and internationally. Main programmes include the Inmaek Party (ginseng + beer) with EDM music, an International Youth Festival involving young people from Korea and abroad, the National Insamgol Singing Contest for all generations and a National Busking Festival with various performance genres. Fireworks take place every day during the festival. Themed activity spaces include a Children and Families Experience Zone and a Health Experience Zone, alongside on-site auctions of local agricultural specialities and visiting traditional ssireum wrestling activities. People of all ages can take part in this festival designed to engage the senses. With foreign visitor numbers steadily growing each year, the festival continues to develop internationally and contributes to promoting local produce and revitalising the local economy. It was recognised as a promising festival by Chungcheongbuk-do in 2025.
