About the festival

As a festival that brings together “Jeju’s sea, land, and people,” it connects the winter delicacy of yellowtail produced by Jeju’s pristine waters with the excellence of local specialties such as garlic and potatoes, enhancing the festival’s brand value and revitalizing the local economy by attracting more visitors and increasing spending. Through hands-on, cultural, and performance programs that residents and visitors can enjoy together, the festival creates a place for harmony across generations and communities. It highlights the region’s distinction as the southernmost point of South Korea and strengthens its local brand with unique content. The Southernmost Yellowtail Festival is being developed into a leading marine and fisheries tourism festival in South Korea—a festival that begins at sea, extends into the village, and turns the joy of celebration into vitality for the local economy.
