Published programme
The 2026 Goesan Kimjang Festival runs for 4 days, November 5–8, 2026, around Organic Expo Plaza and Goesan Sports Complex in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. Participants make kimchi using local produce such as Goesan cabbage and Cheonggyeol peppers. Main programs are One-Stop Kimjang at Organic Expo Plaza, where pre-booked salted cabbage and filling are mixed and taken home, and Drive-Through Kimjang, where participants park at individual sports-complex booths, make kimchi and load it into their cars. Children's and Youth Kimjang, a master kimchi-makers' workshop and a tasting of kimchi from around the world are also offered. Other main events include K-Red Food Street, a grilling zone and the Korea Kimjang Competition. Separately, Village Kimjang Experiences run in Goesan villages throughout November.
