2026 Haenam Minam Festival Schedule, Haenam Rice Theme Hall, Gourmet Hall – Before You Go to Duryunsan in Fall Foliage Season with Kids
The leaves on Duryunsan Mountain are just starting to turn 🍁
The 8th Haenam Minam (味南) Festival 2026
runs from October 30 (Fri) to November 1 (Sun)
around the lawn field of Duryunsan Provincial Park
and in Haenam-eup.
I’ve summarized the Haenam-gun culture and tourism website, a press release (October 2)
and the festival website notice (October 4).
🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?
It’s Haenam’s autumn food festival,
themed on “Tasty Haenam (味南).”
Haenam-gun says it brings together seasonal farm and sea produce,
dishes represented by Haenam’s 8 Flavors (해남8미),
and cooking that blends tradition with modern style.
Haenam-gun hosts it,
and the Haenam-gun Festival Committee organizes it.
This year is its 8th edition.
✨ What’s On This Year?
This year the festival is held with Haenam rice as its theme.
Here are the programs listed in Haenam-gun’s
festival overview and press release.
| Section | Details |

| Gourmet hall | Food sales centered on Haenam’s 8 Flavors |

| Parade · Daedong food performance | Listed as main programs in the festival overview |
| Autumn Night Romantic Concert | Famous singers (lineup not yet announced) |
| Hands-on & performance programs | A variety planned (details not yet announced) |
The full schedule on the festival website
still says “coming soon.”
I’ll add which program happens on which day and at what time
once it’s announced.
🍚 What Are Haenam’s 8 Flavors?
These are the eight tastes of Haenam
picked by the Haenam-gun culture and tourism website.

| Haenam-style chicken course | A chicken meal served in five courses |
| Daeheungsa barley ssambap | Greens, barley rice, spicy pork and vegetable wraps on one table |

🚗 Getting There & Parking
The venue address is
144 Gurim-ri, Samsan-myeon, Haenam-gun (해남군 삼산면 구림리 144),
the lawn field area of Duryunsan Provincial Park.
The festival website’s directions,
parking map and shuttle timetable
still say “coming soon.”
From October to December, Haenam-gun
is running a trial Haenam Tourist Taxi service.
It is not festival transport,
but a tourist taxi that goes around Haenam.
| Duration | Fare (tourists pay 50%) |
|---|---|
| 3 hours | 60,000 won (you pay 30,000 won) |
| 5 hours | 100,000 won (you pay 50,000 won) |
| 8 hours | 150,000 won (you pay 75,000 won) |
It is for tourists who live outside Haenam-gun,
and you need to bring an ID card or a resident registration abstract
(issued on or after October 1).
Two tourist taxis are in service,
and you book through the Haenam Private Taxi Branch call center
(061-536-3883) at least 3 days before.
👨👩👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids
Since the festival centers on food sales,
you can choose from snack hall treats
to meals at the gourmet hall.
Haenam-gun’s festival page also lists
the Duryunsan Cable Car, Duryun Maze Park
and Duryunsan Eco Healing Park
as nearby attractions.
The names of hands-on programs and how to book them
have not been announced yet.
