2026 Hallim Taste Festival Schedule, Fireworks Show, Parking — Before Visiting Hallim Outer Port with Kids

A festival gathering the flavors of western Jeju
right by the Hallim sea, with a view of Biyangdo Island 🍽️

The 2026 Hallim Taste Festival
will be held for two days,
from Friday, October 9 to Saturday, October 10
at the Hallim Outer Port and pier area.

Both days run from 10:00 to 21:00,
and on the first day, the 9th, at 18:00,
there will be an opening ceremony with a fireworks show!

I’ve summarized the schedule and directions
from Jeju City’s press release (October 6)
and the festival website.

🎪 About the Festival

This is a food festival hosted by Hallim-eup
under the theme ‘Nature creates, Hallim serves.’

It’s organized by the Hallim-eup Residents’ Self-Governing Association
to promote Hallim’s agricultural, marine, and livestock products
and local specialty foods,
with the Hallim Taste Festival Committee as the main organizer.

Food markets, direct trade stalls, and experience booths
line the pier, with booths numbered up to 63 on the map.

✨ What’s Happening When?

Booths open at 10:00 on both days,
with side events during the day and stage shows in the evening.

Guest chefs and invited singers/performers
have not yet been announced on the website.

🐷 What is the Dogam Competition?

In Jeju, at big celebrations,
the person who sliced and shared boiled pork
evenly among guests was called a ‘Dogam’.

The Hallim Dogam Competition revives this tradition,
with participants showing off their knife skills
and the spirit of sharing using Hallim pork.

It starts at 13:30 on the first day, Friday the 9th.
Participants were recruited in advance.

🎨 What’s at the Experience & Market Booths?

Here’s the list of booths from the schedule.
Experience and market booths run from 12:00 to 19:00,
performances from 14:00 to 20:00.

No information is provided about experience fees.

🎟️ Festival Local Currency — Where Can You Use It?

The Hallim-eup Residents’ Self-Governing Association
has issued a festival-only local currency.
You can use it even after the festival ends.

The Moonlight Night Market runs every Friday and Saturday
from October 16 to November 7 near Hallim Central Shopping Street.

You can also use Tamna Pay at participating booths.
There is no information on how to accept the local currency.

🚗 Getting There & Parking

For navigation, enter ‘Hallim Outer Port’ or
’26 Hallimhaean-ro’ as your destination.

Some roads near the venue may be closed

If you’re coming by bus, here’s the guidance:

Bus times and routes may change,
so check the Jeju Bus Information System before you go.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids

Performances like face painting and balloon art
start at 14:00, so if you visit after lunch,
you can enjoy the experience booths and
see the performances in order.

If you go on the 9th, stay for the 18:00 opening fireworks show.
If you go on the 10th, don’t miss the 12:00 chef cooking demonstration.
