This festival, which attracts over 2 million visitors annually, is the Boryeong Mud Festival, considered Asia’s representative escapist festival. Along with the Boryeong Mud Festival, the Qingdao International Beer Festival in China is also recognized as a leading escapist festival in Asia.
This year’s Mud Festival welcomes tourists with 38 programs across 6 categories. The main venue is divided into 4 zones. At the heart of the event lies the General Zone, perfect for couples and groups of friends seeking muddy adventures. Complementing this, there are the Family Zone for families with children, the Water Park Zone where visitors can enjoy activity facilities and water play together, and the Companion Dog Zone for those who like to enjoy with their companion dogs. The Family Zone offers various experience programs for children, such as color mud painting.
Popular attractions like Mud Fantasy Waterfall, large-scale mud baths, giant slides, mud chair slides, and tail-catching games in specially designated areas are ready to satisfy the five senses of tourists worldwide.

The Mud Plaza beach will be set up as ‘Mud on the Beach’ with self-mud massage zones and Mud Mob Scenes.
Rest areas and decks have been installed throughout the venue, greatly increasing convenience facilities for family visitors with children. The area around the venue will be closed to vehicles, and a ‘Mud Train’ will operate from Sunset Plaza to Mud Plaza (near the event venue) to provide convenient transportation for tourists. A deck-type rest area with large shade facilities will be created in the pine forest of Mud Expo Plaza. To prevent accidents, drones will be deployed to enhance safety monitoring.
‘Mud Street Mud Packman’ street performances will showcase various acts around the festival grounds. And in the evening, diverse busking performances including songs and dances will be held against the backdrop of beautiful sunsets. On the first weekend of the opening, July 20, the Air Force special flight team will present the ‘Black Eagles Air Show,’ beautifully decorating the blue sky over the beach.
Fall into Mud! Fall into Childhood!
The Boryeong Mud Festival is literally a festival where you return to childhood and play with mud, with various experience events taking place on mudflats. Daecheon Beach, where the festival is held, has a 3.5km long shoreline with fine mud flats stretching along the long coastline. The mud from Boryeong is known to be better for skin beauty than anywhere else in the world, rich in beneficial far-infrared rays, minerals, and germanium.
Mud collected from this pristine natural environment contains many beneficial components for the skin, excellent for providing moisture and removing waste and sebum. Mud is what Cleopatra, the beauty of the century, cited as the secret to her beauty.
Mud is not only good for skin beauty but also a great play material that awakens childhood. In the hot summer sun, applying mud to your face and body can give a cool, refreshing feeling, and it prevents sunburn even under the sun. The cool mud with fine particles holding water lowers body temperature, helping you forget the midsummer heat. The Boryeong Mud Festival also started as a small local festival to promote mud cosmetics that are excellent for skin soothing and whitening effects.
