Gangneung Bread-Baking Village, Ojuk

The 2nd Gangneung Bread Festival, “Gangneung’s Bread-Baking Village, Ojuk,” will be held from October 9 to 11, 2026, at 114 Jukheon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State. Admission is free, and as of September 22, 2026, it has not been announced whether advance reservations are required. Although this is the second edition, changes in the venue, fees, and number of participating businesses compared with the first edition are difficult to verify from this notice alone.

The 2nd Gangneung Bread Festival combines bread voting with a hanbok event

The theme of this edition is “A Lap Around the Hanok Village Following the Aroma of Bread,” and it is hosted by the Gangneung Tourism Development Corporation. The 2026 announcement includes bread sales by Gangneung-area confectionery and bakery businesses, festival-exclusive items, signature-bread exhibitions and sales, and voting by purchasers.

The number of visitors, prices by item, and number of participating businesses at the first edition have not been confirmed, and this year’s number of participating businesses has not yet been announced. The only official image provided is one 2026 poster. The 2021 article images should not be treated as materials showing the 2026 festival site or this year’s booth layout.

Plan the route to Ojuk Hanok Village at 114 Jukheon-gil before setting out

The event address is 114 Jukheon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State (Jukheon-dong), and the venue is Ojuk Hanok Village. The most reliable approach is to enter 114 Jukheon-gil directly into a map app or transportation service.

As of September 22, 2026, public transportation routes, travel times from different starting points, walking distance to the festival site, temporary shuttles, and parking locations and fees have not been announced. Daily operating hours, closing times, and the last transit services have also not been confirmed, so the current plan should not be finalized as a guaranteed day trip.

Enjoy coffee-jam, cookies, keyrings, and traditional Korean music crossover performances in one place

The 2026 site will offer coffee-jam making, cookie making, keyring making, and local specialty-bread making. Admission is free, but the prices of individual sale items and the costs of each making activity have not yet been announced.

An opening ceremony and bread distribution for visitors will be held, along with acoustic, jazz, and traditional Korean music crossover performances. The program also includes an early-bird event, candle-blowing, roulette, an event for military personnel, and a hanbok event, but schedules for individual programs have not been announced.

Four limitations remaining after free admission in 2026

The 2026 event details may change depending on site conditions, and procedures for operation, cancellation, or refunds in rainy weather have not been announced. Since it has not been stated whether English signs, English leaflets, or interpretation will be provided, travelers who require English guidance may find it difficult to finalize their itinerary without calling to confirm.

Accessibility for strollers and wheelchairs has also not been announced. With acoustic, jazz, and traditional Korean music crossover performances and various events, the options may be limited for travelers who want to quietly view only the exhibition. Before visiting, call 033-640-9852 to confirm advance reservations, operating hours, transportation and parking, rainy-weather operations, English guidance, and accessibility.
