JEONJU FESTIVAL

‘Jeonju Bibimbap Festival, World Bibim Week’ is the four-week culinary festival of everything about Jeonju Bibimbap (a traditional Korean dish, rice topped with meat and assorted vegetables). This year, the festival started on the 9th of October around Jeonju Hanok Village. Today, I’ll introduce the festival.

I arrived at Jeonju Hanok Village. As I walked towards Jeonju Hyanggyo (the Confucian School), the festival booths and tents started appearing. The pamphlets with detailed World Bibim Week programs were very helpful.

I visited the opening ceremony of the festival. The ceremony was held at Seunggwangjae, the residence/guesthouse of the last descendants of the Joseon Dynasty royal family. Only a limited number of people who registered in advance could attend. There are many tasting events throughout the Bibim Week, but do note that they require registration in advance.

Next, I visited a special exhibition on the local culinary masters, held at the 68, Hyanggyogil Street.

This is the ‘culinary masters’ flavor’ exhibition. It featured the kitchens and cuisines of many local culinary masters.

I was lucky enough to meet Shin Bok-Ja, who made the elegant and sophisticated Korean traditional wedding food.

Next, I visited handcraft experience offered by the local artists.

I loved that the crafts are eco-friendly, practical, and creative modern interpretation of the Korean tradition.

The Hanok Picnic, where the participants can enjoy the view of hanok and good food, is held in several hanok buildings in the Hanok Village. The program selects 8 teams per day, and booking is required.

I talked to an overseas tourist at the Hanok Picnic. He found the whole thing very ‘Jeonju’ and unique.

This program is ‘Matcon’ held at Iodang. Matcon combines a musical concert, nice view, and good food. The music is by the local musicians and the food is by aspiring young chefs.

‘Insaengmatchan’ is the program whereby a young local chef offers a newly-developed course meal for two people. And the meal is offered at the Manhwaru Pavilion in Jeonju Hyanggyo. This must be an unforgettable experience, but the registration for this program is very popular.

These are the photos from Insaengmatchan. It looks awesome. I’ll continue applying for the program throughout the four weeks and hopefully, I’ll be successful.

Many tasting events, exhibitions, and performances will be held throughout the four weeks of the Jeonju Bibimbap Festival. In particular, the main events happen during the weekends. I suggest visiting Jeonju Hanok Village this weekend and immerse yourself in this festival of Korean traditional flavors!

    Bibimbap literally “mixed rice”), sometimes romanized as bi bim bap or bi bim bop, is a Korean rice dish. The term “bibim” means mixing rice (burned rice at the bottom of the dish and cooked rice), while the “bap” noun refers to rice.
    After seeing the stunning images i really want to participate in the event next thank you for knowing this to us. 😊😊😊

    Jeonju Bibimbap Festival with lots of food and fun!

    The festival hall was so cute and it was so pretty! It was nice to have a stream right next to it, and above all, the program called Bibim Legend, where we went into the origin of bibimbap and tasted various bibimbap, was so much fun! Various foods using bibimbap were also good, and busking that goes well with autumn was also romantic

  • Tanu Singh

    The tastes and textures are crunchy and luscious, spicy and sweet with pickled and fermented notes. When you see the most gorgeous finished product, you might think bibimbap is too complicated for you, but you’d be wrong

    Korean food is some of the healthiest on earth, with an emphasis on vegetables, meats cooked simply and without much oil, and a near obsession with the fermented vegetable kimchi, which can be something of an acquired taste for non-Koreans.

  • Ayan Azmi

    Jeonju Bibimbap Festival is very exciting that offers a fun of almost four weeks every week brings delicious dishes. . I suggest to all my friends tp visit Jeonju Hanok Village in your weekend and immerse yourself in this festival of Korean traditional flavors!

  • Nisha Nisha

    This is a festival honoring one of Korea’s signature dishes: Bibimbap. Jeonju is said to be bibimbap’s home, but not all bibimbap is the same. Depending on the region, or even seasonal ingredients, bibimbap varies from place to place.
    🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️
    ➡️➡️The festival offers visitors a great opportunity to learn about this dish and discover more of Jeonju’s food culture.🤩🤩🤩🤩

  • Danish Saifi

    The Koreans have perfected the art of preserving food, so many side dishes are picked, fermented or salted and many are spicy. Kimchi, Korea’s famous spicy cabbage, which has over a hundred varieties using different vegetables, is a constant of every meal.

    Bibimbap is from one of the best foods of Korea. I am so curious for the Jeonju Bibimbap Festival definitely participate in this Festival next year..🤗🤗🤗🤗

  • Moazzam Khan

    That’s so amazing dish, transforming the humble rice bowl into a recipe that’s revered all around the world!
    I think Bibimbap is one of my favourite dish after kimchi. It is the best food for cold weather..it is embedded deep within the culture.
    The Festival is also so amazing.. it’s essentially rice that’s served with a variety of vegetables along with small pieces of beef jn the Festival.
    Hope i will be there in next year🤗🤗🤗

  • Nargis Bee

  • Muskan Slmani

    I’ve been to Korea in the year of 2019. Within that short timespan of 4 months there were many activities that I got to experience but also many that I wished I could have pursued. I was located in a small town called Sinchang which was far from the bustling city of Seoul. I would have loved to experience planting rice in the fields, experiencing a temple stay, enjoying some drinks with the locals at the beach in Busan, and lastly ordering food delivery at the Han River.

  • Taniya Bistt

    Dear. Team @Jeonjucity 😍😍

  • Manvi Singh

    This Festival is really great opportunity for Bibimbap love like me..
    There are many types of Bibimbap in korea.. i really like to explore the Korean cuisine..
    Bibimbap is definitely a healthy dish as it offers a balance of all three macronutrients which translates to a suitable range of calories. You can also find a large variety of pickled vegetables which offers many different micronutrients such as fiber and certain vitamins.

  • Palak Thakur

    Jeonju is the birth place of bibimbap (rice bowls with veggies and red pepper paste), a dish that is at once recognizable, even to those who are new to Korean cuisine. The city has a unique way of serving it, making use of the fresh, flavorful vegetables that the surrounding farmland provides.
    It is one of the most popular dishes in Korea and around the world. It is usually topped with quality Jeonju soy bean sprouts, hwangpo-muk, gochujang, jeopjang, and seasoned raw beef and served with kongnamul-gukbap.

    If the many scenes extensively featuring food in K-Dramas are anything to go by, Korean cuisine promises to be warm, comforting and delicious. And such was the food at ‘Celebrations of the Korean Culinary Arts’, organised over the weekend as a part of the Korean Cultural Week

    Bibimbap is generally served as a large dish, however at the event, compact, individual portion-sized bowls filled with rice, beef bulgogi, vegetables and an egg were served

  • Sablu Khan

    The name of Korean Bibimbap means “mixed rice,” which is a pretty good description. A bowl is loaded with rice at the bottom and topped with a selection of goodies that are laid out to look like a jewels floating on the white rice bed.Bibimbap is a staple in the Korean diet. Its literal translation is mixed (bibim) rice (bap). Invariably, there
