The Jinan Plateau Kimchi & Bossam Festival is a regional festival held in Jinan-gun, Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province. It was organized to promote a community culture where families and neighbors come together by integrating Kimjang culture, a unique traditional Korean custom, into the festival. The festival aims to reaffirm the traditional value of Kimjang culture amidst changing dietary environments characterized by the rise of nuclear families and single-person households, and to foster neighborly affection through the process of making and sharing kimchi together. Various experiential and participatory events are offered, including Kimjang workshops utilizing local agricultural products produced in the pristine natural environment of the Jinan Plateau, as well as food programs featuring kimchi and bossam. The festival also plays a role in promoting the excellence of local agricultural specialties and boosting the consumption of regional produce. It is a festival where visitors can experience both the preservation of traditional Kimjang culture and the value of local agricultural products.
