Jeonju Gamaek Festival 2022
Gamaek is an abbreviation for ‘store beer’ in Korean, and it started from Jeonju’s unique alcohol culture,
where a glass of cold beer with a light snack at a local store washed away the fatigue of the day.
Jeonju Gamaek, where it was fun to find snacks for the main menu offered by each store,
and the culture of chatting with beer, has become a famous festival in Jeonju.
Adults only! Jeonju’s Gamaek to meet as a festival
Gamaec, which was enjoyed in a small way, has now established itself as a cultural festival in Jeonju where everyone is together. As the name suggests that it is the only festival where you can drink beer made today, the cold beer served at the Jeonju Gamaek Festival is produced on the same day at the Hite Jeonju Factory. Opportunities to drink the cool, fresh beer produced on the same day are rare.
Exciting music, cold beer, and delicious snacks are not to be missed. Famous stores that everyone who has had a bit of Gamaek in Jeonju will know offer snacks at the Jeonju gamaek festival booth. After verifying your adulthood, you can exchange for a cold beer in a barrel full of ice at the beer pond with a coin and a delicious snack you want to eat at the Gamaek Restaurant, and then take a seat at the table. From then on, the midsummer Jeonju Gamaek Festival begins.
Various events that adds to the heat of the Jeonju Gamaek Festival
Jeonju Gamaek Festival is not just about eating and drinking. Various events are prepared to enjoy Jeonju's unique Gamaek culture together and to promote it widely. Starting with the opening and game time, the curtain of the Jeonju Gamaec Festival opened. Unfortunately, the event on Thursday was canceled due to rain, but various events and stage events such as cultural performances, flash mobs, drone shows, and Gamaec concerts were held for the remainder of the period. With cold beer, eye-catching performances, and enthusiastic responses from the audience, it cannot be more enjoyable than this.
Those who remember the sensibility of Gamaek in the past and those who are new to Gamaek culture enjoyed the Jeonju Gamaec Festival, cooling off the heat with ice-cold beer at the site of the festival where everyone came together. An exciting festival to blow away the heat of midsummer. As I enjoyed beer and fun with the crowds after a long time, I met myself, who was drenched in the sensibility of Gamaec.
