Chuncheon Makguksu & Dakgalbi Festival

Folk flea market is a fifth-day market opened on days that end with the numbers 2 and 7. So, this market is opened six times a month. The market is filled with around 140 stores. In the past, there were many street stalls in Myeong-dong and the surrounding area. As a result of the road improvement project, the street stalls were relocated to a space under the double-track railway. This is how the folk flea market was established. On market day, the area comes alive with colorful parasols creating a spectacle. Farmers from the nearby areas bring fresh agricultural produce to sell. Merchants from outside areas also sell a variety of products. Skilled grandmothers sell homemade doenjang and gochujang, which are traditional Korean sauces, and sesame and perilla seed oil made with crops they have grown themselves at low prices. In addition, the folk flea market is full of scrumptious local delicacies including dakgalbi and chongtteok, which is buckwheat crepe, as well as steamed pork intestines, which make a great snack for drinks. Visit the market as the last stop of your tour in Chuncheon so that you can purchase high-quality agricultural produce to take home with you and enjoy delicious food before leaving the city.
