A market filled with the aroma of bread opens under the Namhangang Suspension Bridge 🥐

The very first 1st Yeoju Alley Bread Festival (제1회 여주골목대빵축제) will be held for two days, on Friday, October 9 (Hangul Day) and Saturday, October 10, at the north end of the Namhangang Suspension Bridge (여주 남한강 출렁다리 북단 일원).

🎪 About the Event

This is a bread festival where bakeries from Yeoju and all over the country gather in one place. Both days run from 10:00~18:00, and admission is free.

According to the foundation, there will be Alley Signature Breads made with Yeoju rice, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, and bakeries from all 8 provinces of Korea. Chef Jang Gyeong-ju, a TOP 8 finalist from MBN’s “Cheonhajeppang,” will also bring his ‘Drop Bakery’ to the lineup.

For local Yeoju bakeries, 23 were selected through a foundation contest, and famous bakeries from across the country were specially invited. The leaflet lineup table lists 28 bakeries in total.
