The 2026 Hongseong Global Barbecue Festival is a food festival held around Hongjuseong Fortress in Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, for 4 days from October 29 to November 1, 2026. Hosted by Hongseong-gun and organized by the Hongju Culture and Tourism Foundation, it features barbecue dishes made with Hongseong's signature Korean beef and pork, local food, cultural performances and hands-on programmes. Main programmes include themed barbecue, K-barbecue, global barbecue, chef barbecue and local-specialty barbecue. The themed barbecue uses cooking facilities shaped like amusement rides such as a Ferris wheel, Viking ship and carousel, along with a Sky Tower barbecue facility inspired by Hongseong tourist attractions. K-barbecue offers jar barbecue and pork belly cooked on cauldron lids, while global barbecue serves dishes from countries including the United States, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Uzbekistan. Other attractions include chef barbecue with well-known chefs and YouTubers, barbecue experiences using Hongseong specialties, special discounts on Hongseong Korean beef and pork, and a Hongseong Food Zone featuring local restaurants. The festival also presents an opening celebration and performances spanning hip-hop, K-POP and busking, alongside related events including the Hongseong Love Chrysanthemum Festival and the Hongseong National Cooking Competition.
