2026 Jeju Flatfish Festival Schedule · Bare-Handed Catching · Treasure Hunt, Before Visiting Yeonsam-ro Suhyup with Kids

To welcome the ‘season of abundance,‘
a flatfish festival is being held in Jeju 🐟

The 9th Jeju Flatfish Festival
will take place for three days from October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun)
at the main site of Jeju Eoryu Yangsik Suhyup
along Yeonsam-ro, Jeju City.

The first day, the 9th, is Hangeul Day,
so it coincides with a three-day holiday.

I’ve organized the main event schedule
from Jeju’s official press release (October 6)
and the posted event timetable.

🎪 About the Festival

This is a festival to promote the taste and quality
of flatfish, a representative farmed seafood of Jeju.

Jeju Eoryu Yangsik Suhyup is the host and organizer,
with sponsorship from Jeju Province and the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives.
According to the press release, about 30,000 people visited last year.

This year’s poster slogan is
”Two Friends from the Jeju Sea Meet.”
Flatfish and flounder appear as friends.

At the festival site, there will be a
food discount booth featuring flatfish dishes,
and performances and experiences for families to enjoy together.

✨ What Happens Each Day?

The first day features a late afternoon opening ceremony,
while the weekend offers interactive stage events.
Here’s the schedule by date and time.

The ending time is not specified.
The last stage ends at 19:00 on the 9th,
and at 18:00 on the 10th and 11th.

🐟 Activities for Kids

Besides the stage, there are ‘ongoing programs’
operating throughout the festival.

There is no official info on fees, age, or participant limits
for each activity.
Please check at the on-site info booth first.
