​

The festival runs from Friday, November 6, through Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Triathlon Plaza in Donam-dong, Tongyeong. This food festival brings together dishes made with Tongyeong seafood and a variety of activities in one place.

This year, Tongyeong Fishermen’s Market and Port Village, a harbor food festival, have joined forces to offer not only food but also performances, parades, and children’s activities.

Admission to the festival is free, but food purchases and some activities may incur separate charges.

One of the delights to look forward to at the festival is sampling dishes made with seafood that Tongyeong is known for, including oysters, eel, sea squirt, red sea bream, and Hongga scallops.

​

A range of dishes is planned, from local specialties to fusion menus reimagining regional ingredients.

Here are some of the main food areas.

• Oyster Bar: A space showcasing a variety of flavors centered on Tongyeong oysters

• Robatayaki: A space to enjoy live cooking and grilled dishes

• Haenyeo’s House: A space themed around Tongyeong’s maritime food culture

​

The Tongyeong Seafood Products Expo will have 20 booths, along with pop-ups from local brands, offering a variety of seafood products and regional goods to browse.

​

Menus and prices may vary by booth, so it’s a good idea to check the information on site before ordering.

Another highlight is the variety of activities being prepared for children alongside the seafood offerings.

There will be crafts, amusement rides, interactive missions, and more for families to enjoy together.

There will also be activities that take visitors around the festival grounds, such as a children’s mission book and stamp tour.

Age limits, fees, and registration methods may vary by program. If you’re visiting with young children, check the conditions before starting an activity.

In addition to food and activities, visitors can enjoy interactive performances featuring characters throughout the festival grounds.

The dance battle parade is scheduled three times a day and is fun to watch with children.

​

Other attractions include street performances, welcome performances, photo spots, and a DJ booth.

​

The performance schedule may change depending on on-site operations or the weather.
