It’s late autumn,
when Cheongsong apples are at their reddest 🍎
The 20th Cheongsong Apple Festival (청송사과축제)
runs from November 4 (Wed) to 8 (Sun)
for 5 days along Yongjeoncheon Stream by Hyeonbiam Rock in Cheongsong-eup.
This year’s theme is
”Cheongsong Now! Dyed in Apples.”
Participation is free,
and only some activities charge a fee.
I’ve summarized the schedule on the official festival website
and the Gyeongbuk Nadeuri tourism listing.
🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?

Hosted by Cheongsong-gun
and organized by the Cheongsong-gun Festival Promotion Committee,
this is the twentieth Cheongsong apple festival.
For all 5 days, activities and exhibits
run in one corner of the festival grounds,
and every night ends with fireworks.
Before the festival, an online festival
runs on the Daum portal until November 8.
You can try 4 games in advance,
including Apple Nanta and the Apple Sorting Lotto.
🍎 Activities to Try with Kids

These are the on-site programs
listed under “Festival Programs” on the website.
Most use first-come, first-served on-site registration.

|---|---|
| Find the Golden Apple | 5th 15:00 · 6th 14:00 · 7th 15:00 · 8th 14:00; find the golden apple among apple balloons dropped from above |

For Find the Golden Apple, sign up
in front of the apple balloon inside the grounds.
The Apple Olympics take place at the small performance stage.
The website says the Apple Sorting Lotto gives prizes
depending on how many numbers you match.
The draw times follow the schedule changed on October 15,
while the program guide still says ‘daily at 17:00’.
