It’s autumn, Yesan apple season,
and this year’s theme is “Yedang Lake Embracing Apples” 🍎
The 23rd Yesan Apple Festival
(예산사과축제) runs
October 30 (Fri) to 31 (Sat),
two days around the Yedangho Suspension Bridge.
Admission is free.
On the 30th it’s open 10:00~20:00,
and on the 31st it ends at 18:00.
I’ve summarized Yesan-gun’s festival page, press release
and the Ministry of Culture’s regional festival guide.
🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?
It’s Yesan-gun’s signature farm-produce festival,
celebrating the taste and value of Yesan apples.
The county’s festival page lists tasting and buying apples,
plus local produce sales, cultural performances, exhibitions
and family events.
According to the county press release, this year it is
held at Yedang Lake, separate from the Samguk Festival.
It is linked with the Yedang Resort, so visitors can enjoy
the lake’s night view on a cool autumn evening.
The theme is “A Sweet Day at Yedang Lake”,
starting from the Yedangho Observatory
and linking the tourist facilities around the lake.
🍎 What’s On?
These are the programs in the official information.
A timetable hasn’t been announced yet.

The Ministry of Culture’s guide introduces the Sale Festa

🌉 Can We See the Suspension Bridge and Music Fountain Too?

The venue, the Yedangho Suspension Bridge,
has free admission.
It closes on the first Monday of each month,
so it doesn’t clash with the festival days (Fri · Sat).
The nearby Yedang Lake Music Fountain
usually runs at the times below (Yedang Resort guide).
There’s no notice yet on whether this changes during the festival.
| Date | Usual music fountain times |
|---|---|
| 10/30 (Fri) | 11:00 · 14:00 · 17:00 · evening 20:30 |
| 10/31 (Sat) | 11:00 · 14:00 · 17:00 · evening 19:00 · 20:30 |
| Laser video show | Tuesday to Sunday 20:00 |
The fountain stops if rain exceeds 5mm per hour
or the wind is strong.
On the 31st, the evening fountain is after the festival ends.
🚗 Getting There & Parking
The Yedangho Suspension Bridge has its own parking,
and parking is free (Yedang Resort guide).

👨👩👧 If You’re Going with Kids
The Ministry of Culture’s guide says the apple activities
are prepared so that people of all ages
can enjoy them.
Details of the apple games and activities aren’t out yet,
so it’s a good idea to plan around a walk on the bridge.
If you want to stay into the evening,
the 30th (Fri) runs longer, until 20:00.
The 31st (Sat) ends at 18:00,
so buy your apples early!
