Leaving behind the fields of golden crops swaying in the breeze, and as the cool winds of autumn arrive, the Yeonsan Date Culture Festival is held in Yeonsan, a region where the spirit of General Gye Baek seems to linger. The festival showcases the delicious taste of sun-ripened dates and the warm hospitality of Yeonsan. Yeonsan gained its reputation by sourcing and selling dates from Yeonsan-myeon and neighboring areas like Beol-gok-myeon, Yang-chon-myeon, and Unju-myeon in North Jeolla Province. The merchants of Yeonsan have worked hard to provide consumers who visit Yeonsan directly with exceptionally high-quality dates. This effort has created a widespread image of Yeonsan dates as being of superior quality, and today, Yeonsan accounts for over 40% of date sales nationwide, solidifying its position as a major distribution center. True to its reputation, Yeonsan is striving to become the largest date-producing region in the country. During the Yeonsan Date Culture Festival, visitors can not only purchase dates at affordable prices, but also enjoy a variety of events that promote the region's reputation and the excellence of Yeonsan dates.
