2026 Gyeonggi-do Livestock Promotion Festival — Schedule, Grill Master Demo & Parking Before You Take the Kids to Imjingak
An autumn livestock festival
is coming to Imjingak
Pyeonghwa-Nuri Park 🐂
The 58th edition!
The 58th Gyeonggi-do Livestock Promotion Festival
(제58회 경기도 축산진흥대회)
runs Sat, Oct 24 – Sun, Oct 25,
two days in the parking lot area
of Imjingak Pyeonghwa-Nuri Park in Paju.
We put this together from
the event pages on Gyeonggi-do’s website,
the October issue of ‘My Gyeonggi’ (나의 경기도)
and Gyeonggi-do’s September 16 press release.
🎪 What kind of festival is it?
Gyeonggi-do describes it as
’a livestock culture festival
made together by livestock farmers and consumers’.
It began in 1969
as a Hanwoo (Korean beef cattle) contest,
and this is its 58th year.
This year’s slogan is
’Eat-多 (잇-다): carrying on
the value of Gyeonggi livestock’
(a pun: 잇다 means ‘to carry on’ and sounds like ‘eat’).
The festival’s stated purpose calls it
a ‘Farm To Table’ event
linking farmers’ production
to city dwellers’ consumption.
This year it’s being run as
a hands-on festival centered on consumers.
It’s hosted and organized by NongHyup Agribusiness Group’s
Gyeonggi headquarters, sponsored by
Gyeonggi-do, Paju-si and others,
and some 10,000 livestock farmers
and city residents are expected.
