Jujubes are ripening red
in the autumn air 🍂
It’s the 25th year!
The 25th Yeonsan Jujube Culture Festival
will be held for three days,
October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun),
every day from 10:00 to 21:00
in the Yeonsan Station area of Nonsan.
I’ve summarized the leaflet posted in the Nonsan City notice (October 6)
and the press release (October 7).
🎪 What kind of event is it?
This year’s theme is ‘Jujube! You’re Mine’.
According to the Ministry of Culture’s local festival introduction,
Yeonsan is a major hub where over 40% of the nation’s jujubes are distributed.
During the festival, you can buy jujubes at good prices
and enjoy a variety of events.
There are two main stages:
the Main Stage in front of Yeonsan Station,
and the Jujube Fringe at Yeonsan Culture Warehouse.
This year, the Kids Yeonsan Jujube Culture Festival
will be held together for children and families.
✨ What’s happening when?
Here are the main events at the Main Stage (Yeonsan Station).
Local artists will perform during the day.

On the 9th from 15:00 to 17:00,
there will be a Book Concert with Author Kim Hong-shin
at Yeonsan Culture Warehouse Building 1.
The press release lists the book concert as
being on the 11th,
but the leaflet schedule says the 9th and 10th.
The leaflet also notes that ‘programs

🚌 Getting There & Parking
To reduce congestion around the venue,
Nonsan City has asked visitors to use the
designated parking lots and shuttle bus.
| Parking Lot | Address |
|---|---|
| Yeonsan Residents’ Sports Park | 181 Gwanchang-ro |
| Bronze Warehouse | 29-12 Seonbi-ro 293beon-gil |
| Nonsan Gyeryong Nonghyup Hanaro Mart | 18 Cheongdong-ro |
| Yeonsan Market Public Parking Lot | 10-8 Yeonsan 4-gil |
The shuttle bus runs between the parking lots and the festival venue
from 10:00 to 20:30 all three days.
The leaflet says intervals are 10~20 minutes,
the press release says about 20 minutes.
On the leaflet map, the route is drawn
from Yeonsan Market to the festival site (the intersection in front of Samchully Bicycle).
👨👩👧 If you’re going with kids
The Jujube Sports Day and beanbag making start at 14:00,
and children’s performances also start at 14:00,
so if you arrive after lunch,
you can enjoy activities first, then the shows.
On the festival map in the leaflet,
the main stage and event support zone
have a nursing room, medical support booth,
and information center.
Evening celebration shows are after sunset,
so it’s a good idea to bring an extra jacket for your child.
the festival ends at 21:00
If you plan to stay for the evening shows,
choose your parking lot in advance
