About this event

The 2026 Wanju Modern History and Culture Festival is a modern culinary festival held in the area of Samnye Culture and Arts Village in Wanju-gun, a place that holds the pain of rice exploitation in the Honam region during the Japanese colonial era. Themed "1930 Samnye Station Pocha," it modernly reinterprets the historical background and sentiment of the port-opening era. It aims to revitalize the local economy by attracting family visitors in their 30s and 40s and the MZ generation, as well as group railway tourists of about 240 people linked with the Gugak (Korean Traditional Music) Wine Train. An outdoor market (yajang) with 1,000 seats will be set up inside the venue, and a Western Inland Region Promotion Hall will be operated where visitors can enjoy modern gourmet snacks centered on ingredients from the port-opening era, such as skewers and bread, along with representative ingredients from various cities and counties in Jeollabuk-do. In addition, experience content reflecting the modern history concept will be operated. About 40 food and experience booths involving local merchant associations and youth creators will be prepared. It is a stay-over type night festival that encourages visitor participation through tarot experiences, stamp tours, and AI photo booths. 1.
