Yangyang Pine Mushroom & Salmon Festival

The Yangyang Pine Mushroom & Salmon Festival is a representative autumn festival where you can experience the mysteries of ecology and the joy of gastronomy simultaneously amidst the clean nature of Yangyang, where mountains, the sea, and Namdaecheon Stream meet. Beyond simply tasting pine mushrooms from deep mountains and salmon returning to Namdaecheon, it is designed to allow visitors to experience nature in a friendly and fun way through various unique activities. Representative programs include the 'Pine Mushroom Treasure Hunt' to find mushrooms in the pine forest and 'Salmon Hand-fishing' to catch vigorous salmon with your bare hands in Namdaecheon, providing a thrilling experience unique to Yangyang. Additionally, there are diverse contents such as the 'Yangyang Salmon Ecology Tour' to learn about the return journey with a docent, the 'Pine Mushroom & Salmon Cooking Show' where chefs perform, and 'Making Pine Mushroom Infused Liquor,' offering unique fun for everyone from children to adults. Participatory events and local content are also abundant. The 'Expedition and Salmon Roe Gacha Zone' for completing missions and receiving gifts, the 'Stamp Tour' to complete a poster with six stamps, 'Custom T-shirt Making' available with a receipt, and 'Snack Collage Making' for children add to the fun. Furthermore, high-quality local specialties can be found at reasonable prices through local pop-up stores, specialty markets, and the 'Pine Mushroom Master Auction Show' starting from 1,000 won. The rest area within the venue is combined with a fresh food market, operating as a relaxation space where you can enjoy the 'Yangyang Slow Table' local dining under art shades with a cool river breeze during the day and amidst the emotional night view created by light tanks at night.
