If you love nature and magical moments under the stars, the Muju Firefly Festival is an experience you won’t want to miss. Held every June in Muju, a small town in North Jeolla Province, this festival offers a rare chance to witness thousands of fireflies glowing and dancing through the nighttime forest.

The highlight of the festival is the Nighttime Firefly Tour, where visitors walk along forest trails in complete silence to observe the natural flickering lights in the darkness. It's a peaceful, enchanting experience that feels straight out of a fairytale. In addition to the firefly tours, the festival features traditional performances, folk games, and local food stalls.

The Muju Firefly Festival isn’t just about entertainment — it also carries a meaningful message about protecting nature and preserving the environment. It’s a perfect getaway for those seeking serenity and wonder.
