The Busan Jagalchi Festival takes place from September 29 to October 2 around Jagalchi Market
in Jung-gu, Busan.
“Please visit Jagalchi Market! Take a look at our fresh and juicy seafood! I will offer you the best price!” This is the heartwarming sound that you will hear every time you visit the Busan Jagalchi Market.
If you want to know the truth about this charming port city, all you need to do is go to the Busan Jagalchi Market.
Use all your five senses to enjoy fresh seafood during the festival.
The Busan Jagalchi Festival consists of an Opening Madang (outdoor performance), Oiso (come here) Madang, Boiso (take a look) Madang, and Saiso (please buy) Madang. At the Opening Madang, you can witness the reenactment of the traditional prayer rituals for the safety of fishermen and a large catch of fish, followed by special performances celebrating the opening of the festival. In Oiso Madang, you can participate in various events such as catching fish with your bare hands; running in a relay with an eel as the baton; and going on board a boat. Boiso Madang features various music performances, whereas during the Saiso Madang, you can buy fresh fish at a good price from a special auction and at food stands serving sashimi, which tastes like heaven.
