Gamaksan Flower Star Journey

The 6th Gamaksan Flower Star Festival, a major autumn festival, will be held from September 18th to October 11th, 2026, at the Byeolbaram (Star Wind) Hill area at the summit of Gamaksan Mountain in Shinwon-myeon, Geochang-gun. This year's theme is "A Purple Pause for Yourself," and the festival will feature a variety of performances, experiences, and food, all set against the backdrop of the autumn scenery and the natural beauty of Gamaksan Mountain. The festival officially begins on September 18th with an opening ceremony, which includes pre-show performances, an opening performance, and a tour of the Gugyeolcho flower fields. Throughout the festival, visitors can enjoy various performances, including busking performances, a sunset hill music concert, a celebratory performance by the Geochang Akwoo Association, and a magic show for children. There are also plenty of hands-on activities. Visitors can receive souvenirs through photo zones, stamp tours, and SNS certification events set up throughout the venue. A "slow mail" box is installed at Byeolbaram Hill, allowing visitors to write letters that can be retrieved before next year's event, providing a unique and memorable experience. The food offerings are also a major highlight of the festival. The Flower Star Market, featuring local farms and businesses, offers a variety of Geochang specialties and processed products. In addition, the food market operated by the women's associations of Namseong-myeon and Shinwon-myeon offers a wide selection of dishes, including bibimbap, gukbap (rice soup), jeon (pancakes), and tofu kimchi, at affordable prices. A food truck zone also provides convenient snacks like coffee, sikhye (sweet rice drink), and hot dogs. For those not driving, shuttle buses are available to reach the festival. For those driving, please visit the website to make a reservation in advance.
