Why go

Soraepogu Festival takes place at Soraepogu Port in Incheon, one of the metropolitan area's most storied fishing harbors. The annual event celebrates the port's seafood heritage, drawing visitors with live catches, fresh fish markets, and coastal food stalls serving local specialties such as saeu-jeot (salted shrimp) and raw fish. Cultural performances, folk activities, and hands-on programs for families run alongside the market atmosphere. The surrounding traditional fish market remains active year-round, but the festival period brings extra vendors, crowds, and a concentrated showcase of the region's maritime identity.
