2026 Imsil N Cheese Festival Dates, Experience Fees, Shuttle, Parking — Before Visiting Imsil Cheese Theme Park with Kids

In autumn, Imsil
becomes filled with the aroma of cheese 🧀

The 2026 Imsil N Cheese Festival
will be held for four days from October 8 (Thu) to 11 (Sun)
at Imsil Cheese Theme Park, Imsil Cheese Village,
and throughout the Imsil-eup area.

I’ve organized the official festival schedule,
program guide, and the Ministry of Culture’s local festival info.

🔴 Happening Now

Today, Thursday, October 8 is the opening day.
It runs for four days until the 11th (Sun).

Today features the dessert fondue experience at 14:00,
Cheese Golden Bell at 15:30,
and the opening ceremony at 18:00.
The opening ceremony is not at the theme park,
but at the special stage in downtown Imsil-eup.

The main rice pizza making experience is on the 9th and 11th,
and the 2,000-meter cheese stretching is on the 10th.

🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?

Imsil cheese began when Father Ji Jeong-hwan arrived at Imsil Cathedral in 1964
and established the Imsil Cheese Factory in 1968.

This festival lets you taste and make that cheese
in a hands-on, tourism-focused event.
This year, there are 10 themes
and 64 programs prepared.

Admission is free, but experience fees are separate.
According to the Ministry of Culture, there’s also a 20% discount
on Imsil N Cheese dairy products.

✨ What’s Happening Each Day?

Let’s start with what’s on every day.

Here are the main events that change by date,
selected from the official schedule.

The 2,000-meter cheese stretching event
lets you taste string cheese stretched around the theme park.
The Pilbong Nongak performance is listed at 18:00 in the performance guide,
but 18:30 in the schedule.

🍕 How Much Are the Experience Fees?

The main experiences have different prices
for advance registration and on-site purchase.

The Food Festa runs on the 8th, 9th, and 11th
from 10:00 to 17:00 (closed for 1 hour at noon)
at Clock Tower Square, where you can taste and buy cheese dishes.

At Cheese Village, from 10:00 to 18:00,
you can try mozzarella cheese making and sample aged cheeses.

🚌 How About Shuttle Buses & Parking?

The official website says that if the main venue is full,
you should head back to Imsil-eup
and take a shuttle bus.

Here are the local shuttle routes operating
from the 9th to the 11th.

There’s also a shuttle from Jeonju.

Board at the Sports Complex across from Byeokgye Garden.
