About the festival
The Hadong Wild Tea Culture Festival is a government-designated honorary cultural tourism festival held every May in Hadong County, Gyeongsangnam-do, which is the first tea cultivation site in Korea. The Hadong wild tea, grown in a pristine natural environment, has been known for its excellent taste and aroma since ancient times. Following the 2023 Hadong World Tea Expo, it will celebrate its 29th edition in 2026, enhancing its recognition as a 'tea healing cultural city' and adding value to the tea industry and culture. Visitors to Hadong in May can enjoy a special moment with a cup of tea, experiencing the beauty and charm of Hadong through various healing programs such as 'Busking in a Teacup' and 'Melody on Tea Leaves', as well as walking the path of the 'Starry Sky in a Bottle', all while surrounded by the refreshing greenery of May. This year, in celebration of Children's Day on May 5, there will be various programs for families to enjoy together.
