In November, when the yellow yuja ripen,
a festival opens in the Goheung yuja orchards 🍋
The 6th Goheung Yuja Festival (고흥유자축제)
runs from November 12 (Thu) to 15 (Sun)
for four days around Handong-ri, Pungyang-myeon, Goheung.
I rechecked Goheung-gun’s press release (September 22)
and the festival website’s program pages
on October 10 and summarized them here.
🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?
This year’s slogan is
”November autumn is Yuja Heaven,“
and the theme on the website is
”A Korea without colds.”
Yuja is a fragrant Korean citron, similar to yuzu.
Goheung-gun describes the festival as bringing together the scenery,
food and activities of Goheung, Korea’s largest yuja-growing area.
On the first day, the 12th, the 52nd Goheung County Citizens’ Day
ceremony is also held at the same festival grounds,
with an entrance parade, a ceremony
and a residents’ singing contest.
📅 What’s On Each Day?
From the website’s performance and side-event pages,
I collected only the items with dates.
