Fishermen’s Market × Port Village Tongyeong

The 2026 Eobujangteo X Port Village Tongyeong Festival will be held from November 6 to November 8, 2026, around Triathlon Square in Donam-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. The listed address is 185 Donam-ro, Bongpyeong-dong Community Service Center, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, and admission to the 2026 festival is free. As of August 24, 2026, it has not been announced whether advance reservation is required for admission. At the same Donam-dong venue shown in photos from 2025, the third edition in 2026 plans to add 30 general food teams, 10 performance teams, and 5 chef consulting teams—for a total of 45 brands—along with new pet-friendly and kids’ zones.

Changes among the 45 brands at the 3rd Tongyeong Eobujangteo

The composition confirmed numerically for the third edition in 2026 is 30 general food teams, 10 performance teams, and 5 chef consulting teams. Together, the three categories are expected to comprise 45 selected brands, so this edition will not consist simply of booths selling food.

Photos of the Tongyeong Eobujangteo held at Donam-dong Triathlon Square in 2025 confirm continuity in the venue location. However, wooden-design booths, a pet-friendly zone, and a kids’ zone are scheduled to be newly introduced in 2026, so this year’s booth layout should not be predicted solely from the 2025 photos.

According to the announcement of August 1, 2026, at least 70% of the food booths are expected to be allocated to businesses within Tongyeong, and participating businesses will be selected through document screening and a second on-site evaluation. About 60 people, including prospective participating businesses, attended the briefing on August 12, 2026. The festival is hosted by Tongyeong City and organized by Food Travel Co., Ltd.

Calculating the journey to Triathlon Square at 650-3 Donam-dong

The event location is around Triathlon Square at 650-3 Donam-dong, and the listed address is 185 Donam-ro, Bongpyeong-dong Community Service Center. As of August 24, 2026, the transportation options and travel time from the nearest major city, the walking distance from the station or terminal to the venue, and whether a temporary shuttle will operate have not been announced.

For safety, enter “650-3 Donam-dong” and “185 Donam-ro, Bongpyeong-dong Community Service Center, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do” into a map app in sequence and compare the locations. The 2026 traffic-control plan and the location and fees of temporary parking lots have also not been announced, making it difficult to finalize an itinerary based on driving and parking.

No materials are available confirming the daily operating hours, program times, admission and exit deadlines, or the last transportation service for 2026. Therefore, the current conclusion is that a same-day trip is not feasible. Plan to include accommodation, and switch to a same-day itinerary only after operating hours and return transportation are announced.

Thirty general booths featuring oysters, sea squirts, and red sea bream

The main content in 2026 will be Tongyeong’s seasonal seafood and regional cuisine. General food booths are expected to offer dishes using oysters, eel, sea squirts, and red sea bream, but the published information does not specify menu prices or whether card and cash payments will be accepted.

The 10 performance teams are expected to present on-site cooking, menu presentations, and customer participation. The 5 chef consulting teams will develop menus using famous chefs and Tongyeong’s representative foods, and Chef Kang Leo plans to participate in consulting to improve the taste and quality of participating businesses.

Sea and craft experiences, a welcome performance, street performances, photo zones, and a Tongyeong brand pop-up store are included in the 2026 supplementary program. Children’s mission books, a stamp tour, and social media sharing events are also planned as visitor participation activities, allowing you to divide your itinerary between cooking-booth-focused activities and interactive programs.

The festival will use a character universe featuring “Captain No,” a local fisherman with 40 years of experience, and “Captain Shin,” a young fisherman. Interactive content in which visitors watch and judge the competition between the two fishermen is planned, but the detailed format and times of individual programs had not been announced as of August 24, 2026.

Conditions to check for the 2026 pet-friendly and kids’ zones

As of August 24, 2026, policies for operation, cancellation, and refunds in rainy weather, as well as wheelchair and stroller accessibility, had not been announced. A pet-friendly zone and kids’ zone are planned, but their existence alone does not make it possible to assess stroller access width or the availability of rest areas.

Because the program includes on-site cooking, a welcome performance, and street performances, visitors who want a quiet experience should first check how the performance areas and food booths are arranged. Whether English information or interpretation will be available has also not been announced, so the schedule may not suit travelers who require English explanations in order to participate on site.

The locations of restrooms, information desks, baggage storage, and rest areas, as well as cleanliness management and safety routes, are difficult to assess from the published information alone. The final list of participating brands and detailed performance lineups have not yet been released either, so before departing, call 070-4680-1718 to confirm operating hours, reservations, rainy-weather policies, transportation, and accessibility information before finalizing accommodation and food expenses.
