The Mungyeong Saejae Barefoot Festival invites over ten thousand participants to walk barefoot along a 7 km yellow clay path between the First and Third Gates. You'll feel the earth beneath your feet, hear the laughter and music from live performances, and engage in various fun activities designed for all ages. Skipping this event means missing out on a unique blend of nature, music, and community spirit.

This year's festival features performances by artists like Yoon Yoon-seo, Kim Soo-chan, and Hwang Min-woo, along with a general singing contest and barefoot games such as group jump rope and chicken fighting. Enjoy various booths, and for the first participants, a free sportswear T-shirt awaits. Plus, those who complete the course to the Third Gate will receive a medal.
