2026 Gangneung Bread Festival Dates · Bread Making Experience · Shuttle & Parking, Before Visiting Ojuk Hanok Village with Kids

A three-day Hangul Day holiday,
A bread festival is coming to Gangneung Hanok Village 🥐

It’s the second year!
The 2nd Gangneung Bread Festival
under the name ‘Village of Baking, Ojuk’
will be held for three days,
October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun),
every day from 11:00 to 19:00
at Gangneung Ojuk Hanok Village (강릉오죽한옥마을).

Admission is free.
Only the experience programs have separate fees.

I’ve organized the official information
from the Gangneung Tourism Development Corporation festival website
and the Ministry of Culture’s regional festival guide.

🎪 What Kind of Event Is It?

This year’s theme is
’A Walk Around the Hanok Village Following the Scent of Bread.’

According to the organizers,
the festival adds ‘bread’ to the Ojukheon area,
connecting tradition and modernity.

On the website’s ‘Participating Bakeries’ page,
there are 54 bakeries
and 5 beverage booths listed.
You’ll also find places named after Gangneung,
like Gangneung Coffee Bread and Gangneung Croissant Bungeoppang.

During the same period, at the Hanok Village futsal field,
the Gangneung City ‘Alley Business Win-Win Market’ will also be held.
26 local small businesses will offer
crafts, daily goods, food, and hands-on activities,
with purchase events and a mini game zone.

✨ What’s Happening Each Day?

Bakery booths and busking run all three days,
but the main stage schedule changes daily.
Here’s the festival website’s event schedule in table form.

The website notes that the schedule
may change depending on on-site conditions.

🧁 What Experiences Are There?

There are ten hands-on activities
where you can make and decorate bread and desserts,
as well as picnic basket rentals.
Here are the experience fees and participant limits per session.

Advance reservations opened on September 30,
and as of October 8,
everything is marked ‘fully booked’ on the website.

However, for Injeolmi, bread keyring, carrot cupcake,
bread sachet, pen, and keycap decorating,
there are on-site registration spots for each session.
For parfait and gonggal bread drawing,
if there are no-shows, you can register on-site,
and for bread plates, additional on-site reservations are taken by time slot.

🚌 Getting There & Parking

There are four parking lots available,
including temporary ones.

If you park at the Gangneung Convention Center,
you can take the shuttle bus to the festival venue.
Runs frequently from 10:30 to 19:30
and is free during the festival.

For shuttle users, the first 100 people each day
receive a 3,000 won bread coupon,
and all users get a 20% discount coupon
for Onbit Forest.

City buses stop at two stations.

The routes passing Gangneung Intercity & Express Bus Terminal
are 202, 302, 303, 308, and 312.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Going with Kids

Most experience sessions
have a limit of 10~15 people, so spots are limited.
If you want to try on-site registration,
visit the experience booths as soon as you arrive.

The festival opens at 11:00,
and the main stage starts at 13:00 each day.
In the morning, you can enjoy the bakery booths and experiences,
and in the afternoon, the stage programs,
so they don’t overlap.

On Saturday at 15:00, the Master Baker Baking Show
is a demonstration by a master baker on stage.
