Pangyo’s signature food
Acorn jelly feast is here 🥣

Now in its 4th year!
The 4th Pangyo Acorn Jelly Festival
will be held for two days on Friday, October 9 (Hangul Day)
and Saturday, October 10
at the Pangyo Specialty Food Village area
in Hyeonam-ri, Pangyo-myeon, Seocheon-gun.

This summary is based on
press releases from Seocheon-gun on October 6 and 7.

🎪 What Kind of Event Is It?

Pangyo-myeon and the festival committee
have organized a local festival centered around
Pangyo’s signature food, acorn jelly,
bringing together food, experiences, and performances
in one place.

Chairman Seo Dongchun said
they prepared the festival so visitors can
taste acorn jelly and enjoy performances and experiences together.

The festival venue, Pangyo Specialty Food Village,
is located at the former Pangyo Station site.
According to Seocheon-gun’s tourism guide,
the old Pangyo Station site is now
operated as the Pangyo Specialty Food Village.

✨ What’s Happening and When?

The stage schedule from the press release
is organized in the table below.
Only the opening ceremony on the first day has a set time.

🍲 What Can You Eat?

There will be two types of markets at the festival venue.

Prices are not listed in the press release.

According to Seocheon-gun’s tourism guide,
Pangyo is a place where markets like the old cattle market
flourished, and food culture such as gukbap (rice soup)
developed here.

🎞️ ‘Village Where Time Stopped’ Next to the Festival

The area around the festival is introduced by Seocheon-gun as
’the Pangyo, Village Where Time Stopped.‘
Buildings from the 1930s to the 1980s
remain just as they were.

You can explore old buildings such as
the former Pangyo Station, old cattle market street,
Dongil Brewery, Jangmi Photo Studio, and Pangyo Theater,
and there is also a stamp tour.

During the festival,
a special exhibition called ‘A Hundred Years of Dreams and Language’
will be held at four nationally registered cultural heritage sites
in this village, organized by the Seocheon Culture and Tourism Foundation.

The exhibition runs from September 29
to December 15,
and the exhibition and related programs are free.
For detailed schedules, check the Seocheon Culture and Tourism Foundation
website.

🚗 Getting There & Parking

The two press releases
describe the location slightly differently.

On Naver Maps, the two places
are right next to each other at 882-8 and 882-9 Jongpan-ro.

On October 6, before the festival,
Pangyo-myeon cleaned the road from
the Pangyo-myeon Administrative Welfare Center
to the Pangyo Specialty Food Village,

will be placed throughout the venue.

There is no information in the press release
