Why go

Taebaek's Mountain Vegetable Festival celebrates the region's rich tradition of wild food foraging in the Taebaek Mountains. Held annually, the festival showcases fresh, foraged vegetables—known as "sannamu" in Korean—that grow naturally in the local highlands. Visitors can sample prepared mountain vegetables in traditional dishes, purchase fresh produce directly from local vendors, and learn about seasonal foraging practices. The event reflects Gangwon's deep connection to mountain agriculture and offers tourists an authentic taste of regional cuisine made from ingredients harvested from the surrounding peaks.
