2026 Cheongcheon Environmental Mushroom Festival Schedule, Programs, Directions – Before Visiting Goesan Mushroom Land with Kids

Autumn in Cheongcheon-myeon, Goesan
is filled with the scent of mushrooms 🍄

The 2026 Cheongcheon Environmental Mushroom Festival
will be held for two days, October 9 (Fri) to 10 (Sat)
at the Mushroom Land Plaza area in Cheongcheon-myeon.

It opens tomorrow!

Here’s a summary of the press release from Goesan-gun on October 3,
the poster schedule, and the festival website information.

🎪 About the Festival

This is a festival created by the residents of Cheongcheon-myeon.

According to the county festival website,
after the neighboring Hwabuk-myeon area was designated
as a hot spring district in 1985,
Cheongcheon-myeon residents spent over 30 years
working together to prevent development.
After the Supreme Court’s cancellation ruling,
the residents planned this festival to commemorate
the end of that long effort.

It began in 2004 as the first ‘Cheongcheon Environmental Culture Festival’
and later changed its name to focus on mushrooms.

This year’s theme is
Let’s Play in the Autumn Forest! Follow the Scent of Mushrooms to Cheongcheon!
The Cheongcheon-myeon Festival Committee organizes the event,
with support from Goesan-gun and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.
