Jeju Fire Festival

The annual Jeju Fire Festival celebrates locals praying for a good harvest and good health. You can experience and enjoy the Jeju Fire festival in the month of May. The festival is organized in the beautiful natural surroundings of the village of Bongseong-ri, Ayeol-eup, on Jeju Island.

The Jeju Fire Festival is open to all, and there are folk games and hands-on programs for people to enjoy. The festival originated from Jeju’s traditional farming custom of burning rice fields and vegetable gardens in early spring to exterminate pests. By burning the fields, the cows can feed on nutrient-rich grass as well as ease cultivation. You can check out more details about the festival on the site www.jejusi.go.kr/buriburi/main.do.
