Yeongju Apple Festival

The 2026 Yeongju Apple Festival is an autumn festival where you can enjoy, with all five senses, top-quality Yeongju apples grown in Yeongju's clean nature; this year the festival brings the taste and charm of Yeongju apples to both the growing region and the city at the same time. It is held from October 30 to November 1 around the Maze Park in Buseok-myeon, and from November 13 to 15 an event also takes place at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul. Yeongju apples are known for their high sugar content and crisp texture, thanks to large daily temperature differences and abundant sunshine. At the festival there are various hands-on programs, displays of different apple varieties and an apple market. A range of tasting events and cultural performances are also prepared. Visitors can enjoy the autumn scenery together with Buseoksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Combining farm-direct freshness with exciting performances and events, it is a bountiful harvest celebration that gives happy memories to people of all ages. It is a golden opportunity to experience, with all five senses, top-quality Yeongju apples and plenty of entertainment, not only in Yeongju's beautiful autumn scenery but also in the heart of downtown Seoul.
