Info only · no booking hereAbout
The 2026 Wanju Modern History & Culture Festival is a modern gastronomy festival held in the Samrye Culture & Arts Village area of Wanju-gun, a place bearing the pain of rice exploitation in the Honam region during the Japanese colonial period. Under the theme of "1930 Samrye Station Night Market," it reinterprets the historical background and sentiments of the port-opening era in a modern way. Targeting family visitors in their 30s and 40s, as well as the MZ generation, it also attracts group rail tourists of 240 people linked to the Gugak Wine Train, aiming to revitalize the local economy. The festival grounds include an outdoor seating area for 1,000 people, and a Western Inland Region promotional hall is also operated where visitors can enjoy modern gastronomy snacks centered on port-opening-era ingredients such as skewers and bread, alongside representative ingredients from each city and county of Jeollabuk-do. Experiential content reflecting the modern history concept is also offered. A total of about 40 food and experience booths, involving local merchant associations and young creators, are set up, and the festival features activities such as tarot readings, a stamp tour, and an AI photo booth, making it a night festival designed to encourage visitors to stay and participate.
