2026 Subi Neungi Mushroom Festival Schedule · Neungi Ramen Sharing · Electric Car, Before Visiting Yeongyang Birch Forest

A white birch forest
will host the Neungi Mushroom Festival 🍄

Now in its 5th year!
The 5th Subi Neungi Mushroom Festival
will be held for two days, October 9 (Fri)~10 (Sat),
at the parking lot area of the Jukpari Birch Forest
in Subimyeon, Yeongyang-gun.

October 9 is Hangul Day,
so both days fall on days off (Hangul Day and Saturday).

Here’s a summary of the official festival information
from Yeongyang-gun press releases (October 1 & 2)
and the Yeongyang Festival Tourism Foundation.

🎪 Festival Highlights

This festival promotes
the signature forest product of Subimyeon,
the neungi mushroom,
and aims to expand the market for local agricultural and forest specialties.

This year’s festival slogan is
‘Subi’s Forest, Colored by Neungi!’

This year, the venue has moved to the birch forest.
The festival is designed so you can enjoy both neungi mushrooms
and the top tourist spot in Subimyeon.

The event is hosted by Yeongyang-gun
and organized by the Yeongyang Festival Tourism Foundation.
There is no admission fee listed in the official information.

✨ What Programs Are There?

Here’s a table summarizing the programs
from the foundation’s guide and county press releases.

The Neungi Ramen Sharing Event
is described in the county press release
as ‘the festival’s most popular program.’

The Yeongyang Nutrition Quiz
is an event where you answer questions
about Yeongyang-gun and neungi mushrooms.

The direct sales market
has clear standards for displaying items and prices.

🕙 When Should We Go?

The detailed festival schedule
has not been released yet.

However, the foundation’s booth recruitment notice
lists booth operation hours as 10:00~18:00.
There is a note that these may change depending on circumstances.

Sales booths are required to clearly display
menu photos and prices.

🌳 What Is the Birch Forest Like?

According to Yeongyang-gun,
the birch forest was planted by the Korea Forest Service
on a mountain that was devastated by logging and pine wilt disease
about 30 years ago.

It covers about 30.6 hectares,
which is the size of 42 soccer fields.

There are two main walking trails in the forest.

🚗 Getting There · Electric Car

The foundation’s notice lists the location as
408 Jukpari, Subimyeon.
This is the same address as the ‘Yeongyang Birch Forest Parking Lot’ on Naver Maps.

The festival is held around the parking lot,
and the birch forest is further inside.
Distances are based on the Yeongyang-gun map.

Since October 9 is a public holiday and October 10 is a Saturday,
the electric car runs on the ‘weekend and holiday’ schedule.

For the return trip, board at the same place you got off.
Closed every Monday and does not operate in rainy weather.
There is no information on electric car fares from Yeongyang-gun.

There is also no official information yet
on shuttle buses or temporary parking for the festival period.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids

The county press release says
children’s activities are available
so families can enjoy the festival together.

The quiz and weight guessing events
are easy for kids to join in.

To visit the forest,
allow plenty of time for the 15-minute electric car ride
and 30-minute walk each way.
The Yeongyang-gun map shows restrooms
at the midway stop and forest entrance.

Since the festival is only held for two days,
