The Gangneung Noodle Festival is a representative culinary festival held in Gangneung, a city where noodle dishes are loved more than in any other region. It features dishes such as spicy noodle soup (jangguksu), buckwheat noodles (makguksu), jjambong (a seafood noodle soup), and potato dumpling noodle soup (gamja ongsimi kalguksu). The festival, previously known as the Gangneung Noodle Festival until 2025, has been well-received. For its 5th edition in 2026, the name was changed to the Gangneung Noodle Festival to become more familiar to the public and to reflect regional characteristics more broadly. In 2026, the festival will take place for 4 days, from October 15th to October 18th, in Wolhwagiro. It will feature a food zone where you can taste various Gangneung noodles, as well as attractions and entertainment related to the festival. You can experience the flavors of Gangneung's representative restaurants and the diverse noodle dishes hidden in the alleys. Various hands-on activities, exhibitions, competitions, and cooking shows will be available, allowing you to fully enjoy the golden autumn of 2026 in Wolhwagiro.
