“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.
