Southernmost Yellowtail Festival

About the festival

Bringing together Jeju’s sea, land and people, this festival combines the winter flavor of yellowtail from Jeju’s clean seas with local specialties such as garlic and potatoes. It aims to enhance their brand value and support the local economy by attracting visitors and encouraging spending. Hands-on activities, cultural events and performances shared by residents and visitors create opportunities for people of different generations and regions to come together. By highlighting its symbolic location at Korea’s southernmost reaches and developing distinctive content, the festival seeks to strengthen the local brand and establish the Southernmost Yellowtail Festival as one of Korea’s leading marine and fisheries tourism festivals. Beginning at the sea and extending into the village, its celebrations are intended to bring vitality to the local economy.
