Jeonju Bibimbap Festival
In Autumn, Jeonju is delicious. It’s because of the Bibimbap Festival, the representative food festival of Jeonju.
As one of the Top 3 Dishes of Joseon and the most favored food among foreigners and the representative food of Korea, Jeonju Bibimbap is the best Korean food.
The Guardian, one of three prestigious newspapers in the UK, introduced Jeonju as ‘the food capital of Korea’ and the ‘an unequaled city in Korea in terms of food’.
The representative Jeonju brand event, the Bibimbap Festival, provides a wide range of programs, including experience programs, tasting, and contests under the theme, ‘Bibimbap’.
