It’s late autumn, perfect for a hot bowl of ramyun 🍜
The 2026 Gumi Ramyun Festival (구미라면축제)
November 6 (Fri) to 8 (Sun)
runs for three days around Gumi Station.
Entry is free.
That’s how it’s listed in the Culture Ministry’s festival guide.
I’ve summarized Gumi City’s press releases (September 15 and October 5)
and the festival’s official website.
🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?

Gumi City describes Gumi as
”Korea’s largest Shin Ramyun production city.”
The festival started in 2022 to build on that.
Visitor numbers have grown fast every year.
These are the figures Gumi City released.
| Year | Visitors (per Gumi City) |
|---|---|
| 2022 (first year) | 15,000 |
| 2023 | 80,000 |
| 2024 | 170,000 |
| 2025 | 350,000 |
During last year’s festival, more than
500,000 freshly fried ramyun packs were sold.
🍜 What’s New This Year?

The heart of it is the Ramyun Restaurants.
They grow from 25 last year to 33 this year.
Gumi City says it will greatly expand seating for eating ramyun
and widen the sales and convenience areas.
Gumi restaurants were chosen through an open call,
then document screening and an on-site cooking test.
The website’s front page says Gumi’s top local eateries,
unique ramyun spots from across Korea,
and Asian noodle restaurants will all be there.
Opening hours are listed in the Culture Ministry’s festival guide
as 10:00–21:00.
Daily hours haven’t been announced by the festival yet.
🎉 What Else Is On?
These are from Gumi City’s October 5 press release.
| Alongside the Festival | Gumi City Announcement |
|---|---|

| Day 1, 11/6 (Fri) | Gumi City ambassador, comedian Lee Sun-min (이선민), visits the site |

The Kids Festival’s dates, venue and programs

Gumi City is selling Gumi Love gift vouchers at 10% off through December,
and in November it will run an Onnuri payback event
at 9 places including Saemaeul Jungang Market (up to 20,000 won a day, 60,000 won in total).
🚌 Getting There & Shuttles
The festival grounds are around Gumi Station Exit 1.
The website’s directions page gives
76 Gumijungang-ro, Gumi, Gyeongbuk (경북 구미시 구미중앙로 76).
Coming from far away? There’s the Kakao T shuttle.
These are the pickup points from the website’s October 2 notice.
| Region | Pickup Point |
|---|---|
| Seoul area | Sadang Station · Seoul Station · Jamsil Station |
| Daejeon | In front of City Hall Station Exit 4 |
| Daegu | Banwoldang Station Exit 18, in front of Hyundai Department Store |
| Busan | Seomyeon Station Exit 12, elevator entrance |
| Gwangju | Opposite the Gwangju Bus Terminal (종합버스터미널), in front of the building right of Oegatjip Gukbap (외갓집국밥) |
In the Kakao T app, go to “Getting around” → “Shuttle” →
the “Local festivals” tab, find “구미 라면축제,“
and apply or turn on the sales-start alert.
Shuttle times and fares,
and parking and road closures during the festival,
haven’t been announced for this year yet.
👨👩👧 Going with Kids
Since the festival grounds are around Gumi Station Exit 1,
it’s easy to come by train.
Gumi City also runs a mobile stamp tour (K Stamp Tour app)
until November 15.
Visit spots such as Geumosan, Geumridan-gil and Saemaeul Jungang Market,
verify a receipt of 10,000 won or more,
and get Gumi Love gift vouchers or tourism souvenirs.
I’ll add the Bread Barbershop Kids Festival
to this post once its dates and venue are out.
Coming from afar? Take the Kakao T shuttle,
get the app alert first for times and fares
