Why go

Held on the slopes of Gariwangsan in Gangwon Province, this spring wild-greens festival celebrates the mountain's rich harvest of edible native plants. Visitors gather seasonal namul — including bracken, bellflower root, and other foraged greens — that thrive in Gariwangsan's dense forests. The festival offers hands-on picking experiences, cooking demonstrations, and tasting of traditional mountain dishes prepared with freshly harvested greens. Gariwangsan itself is a protected area known for biodiversity, making it a fitting backdrop for a celebration rooted in Korea's long foraging culture. The event draws both local families and travelers seeking a grounded, nature-connected experience in rural Gangwon.
