The Hongseong Global BBQ Festival is one of South Korea’s premier culinary festivals, where visitors can taste and enjoy a variety of barbecue dishes centered on Hongseong Hanwoo beef and Han-don pork—Hongseong’s signature local specialties. By combining Hongseong’s excellent livestock resources with barbecue-themed content, the festival offers unique culinary experiences, attractions, and hands-on programs. In particular, it showcases Hongseong’s flavors and charm to domestic and international visitors through a diverse range of culinary offerings, including theme park-style barbecue, global barbecue, and hearth-style barbecue.
