Published programme

To promote the high-quality ginseng grown in Icheon, the largest ginseng production area in Korea, the Icheon Ginseng Festival began in 2015. With the aim of becoming the leading ginseng and health festival in the metropolitan area, the festival's name was changed to the Icheon Ginseng Health Festival starting in 2025, incorporating the theme of "ginseng and health." The Icheon Ginseng Health Festival is a special event where visitors can enjoy the beauty of autumn while learning about ginseng and improving their health. It provides an opportunity for visitors to directly see and purchase high-quality ginseng from Icheon, experiencing its rich aroma and excellent quality. The festival also offers interactive content for all ages, including ginseng tasting events, ginseng health kimchi experience programs, and ginseng foot baths, allowing visitors to directly experience and enjoy ginseng while improving their health. In addition, there are various stage performances by invited singers and events such as ginseng auctions, which add excitement to the festival. It is one of Icheon's representative festivals, where visitors can taste healthy foods made with fresh ginseng, such as ginseng fritters and ginseng makgeolli (rice wine).
