Daegu Yangnyeongsi Herbal Medicine Festival (대구약령시한방문화축제)

Held in Daegu's historic Yangnyeongsi district — one of Korea's oldest and largest traditional herbal medicine markets — this annual festival centers on the culture and commerce of hanbang, or Korean traditional medicine. Visitors can explore herb-tasting booths, observe medicinal herb identification demonstrations, and browse stalls selling dried roots, flowers, and botanicals sourced from across the country. Craft workshops, traditional health consultations, and street performances bring a lively atmosphere to the market's centuries-old alleyways. The festival offers foreign visitors an accessible entry point into Korean herbal medicine traditions without requiring prior knowledge.
