About this event
Boryeong's mud festival began as a celebration of the mineral-rich mud of the Daecheon tidal flats and became Korea's most exuberant summer party: mud pools, slides, wrestling and concerts on the beach, with tens of thousands of visitors getting comprehensively filthy.
The paid experience zone on Daecheon Beach is the centre of it, and the town fills for the full run. Dates for 2027 are not announced yet; the festival traditionally runs from late July into early August, and this page will update the moment the organisers confirm.
The Boryeong Mud Festival, one of Korea's signature summer festivals and a Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism designated global festival, takes over Daecheon Beach in Boryeong for mud pools, mud slides, mud wrestling and concerts. The 2027 dates are not yet published by the organiser.
How it works
The beach and the town events are open to all; the mud experience zone is ticketed, with tickets sold online and at the gate closer to the festival. Bring clothes you are prepared to retire.
Where to stay
Daecheon Beach fills up for the festival, and Boryeong's own hotels and pensions are the base. Book early: the beachfront goes first.
