Join the Fun: 2024 Chuncheon Makguksu & Dakgalbi Festival
If you’re planning a trip to South Korea this summer, don’t miss the chance to experience the Chuncheon Makguksu & Dakgalbi Festival. Held from June 18 to June 23 at the Legoland Korea Resort parking lot, this festival is a celebration of Chuncheon’s most beloved dishes: makguksu and dakgalbi. Alongside delicious food, you’ll enjoy vibrant performances, interactive programs, and a lively atmosphere that showcases the best of Korean culture.
What Are Makguksu and Dakgalbi?
Makguksu is a traditional Korean dish made from buckwheat noodles, typically served cold with a tangy, spicy sauce, and garnished with vegetables. This refreshing and healthy meal is perfor for the summer. Dakgalbi is also a popular Korea dish where chicken is marinated in a spicy gochujang (Korean chilli paste) sauce and stir-fried with cabbage, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables. Often cooked at the table on a large, flat grill, Dakgalbi is both a flavorful and interactive dining experience that brings people together.
Makguksu and Dakgalbi are both Chuncheon’s famous local cuisine. It is no exaggeration to say that many people visit Chuncheon specifically to eat Makguksu and Dakgalbi. While Makguksu and Dakgalbi are now available nationwide, there’s nothing like tasting their original flavors in Chuncheon. This festival is the perfect opportunity to do just that.
