Jeju Flounder Festival.

Published programme

The Jeju Flounder Festival, held annually in October since 2016, is a unique event in Korea that features flounder as its main ingredient. It promotes the consumption and excellence of Jeju farmed flounder. The festival offers a variety of dishes made with flounder, such as sashimi, sushi, and fish cakes, as well as tteokbokki, pancakes, and other dishes, all at affordable prices, widely publicizing the taste and quality of Jeju flounder. As a representative food festival in the Jeju region, member organizations that cultivate flounder sell carefully raised flounder-based dishes at low prices, receiving high praise from residents and tourists. In addition, various experience programs are offered, including a flounder singing contest, a teenage dance competition, a children's drawing contest, and flounder and (dotari) catch-by-hand events, allowing residents, tourists, and even children to participate and enjoy a wide range of activities.
