There is a place where you can enjoy premium dishes, said to have been served on the king's royal table, at affordable prices and in generous portions!
In February, the tail end of winter, you can savor the rich, authentic taste of this delicacy at the 2024 Uljin Snow Crab and Red Snow Crab Festival.
At the 2024 Uljin Snow Crab and Red Snow Crab Festival, not only can you find opportunities to purchase snow crabs at discounted prices through events and auction experiences, but there are also various programs where you can taste snow crabs by participating in games. Besides snow crabs, there are many other beneficial events and opportunities to take advantage of.
First, when you arrive at the festival site, you should visit the booths in operation. Many programs offer hands-on experiences as well as benefits.
At the ‘Hometown Love Donation Promotion Booth,’ an on-site donation event is held, where 20 donors who contribute 100,000 KRW or more will receive an additional thank-you gift worth 30,000 KRW.
The booth operated by the East Sea Industrial Research Institute distributes 5,000 KRW coupons on-site to visitors, up to two per person. These coupons can be used at 34 seafood-related stores outside the festival venue, with the coupon amount applicable according to the purchase amount.
If you plan to visit Uljin for the festival, you can also take advantage of tourism events run by the county, where you can receive local specialties and gifts just by traveling.
The ‘Uljin愛 GO BACK (Uljinaego Back)’ event offers Uljin specialties worth about 10% of the amount spent in tiers when you pre-apply for the Uljin county tourism guidebook, tour Uljin county, and submit a survey along with receipts used within Uljin county.
Additionally, there is a stamp tour event where participants who complete the designated course by stamping at Uljin tourist spots can receive either a plush doll of Uljin county’s mountain goat characters (Shani and Yani) or natural stone seaweed, a local specialty of Uljin.
This weekend, we recommend spending a rich and abundant time at the 2024 Uljin Snow Crab and Red Snow Crab Festival, where premium snow crabs and red snow crabs will captivate your taste buds, and you can enjoy special benefits through various programs and events.
