The Yeoju Sejong Cultural Tourism Foundation announced the inaugural ‘Yeoju Alley Big Bread Festival,’ set for October 9 to 10 near the Namhangang Suspension Bridge. The event intends to link local agriculture with the bakery industry by using Yeoju’s signature crops, such as rice, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, to create specialty items like ‘Yeogo-ppang.’

Planned activities for the festival include celebratory performances, bubble shows, a bread cosplay award ceremony, and hands-on workshops like cookie decorating. The event will feature 25 local bakeries alongside eight famous bakeries from across the country. To encourage tourism, organizers are utilizing a ‘Bread Pilgrimage Map’ to connect visitors to local commercial alleys and have included collaborations with the animation ‘Bread Barbershop’ to appeal to families.
