The Goesan Red Pepper Festival is held
during harvest season to promote the excellence of peppers grown in
Goesan, a major production area of Korea. The festival has numerous
programs, including pepper-picking and fish-catching contest (using the
bare hands), pepper recipe competition, pepper cooking contest, and
garden pepper planting. Brightly colored and full of flavor, Korean
peppers are a particularly popular agricultural product. This is a fun
festival where visitors can taste or buy Korean peppers, and talk with
farmers.
