Every summer, the quiet coastal city of Boryeong transforms into one giant playground of mud, music, and laughter. The Boryeong Mud Festival, held at Daecheon Beach, is one of Korea’s most famous and fun-filled events, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Why mud? The local mud from Boryeong is rich in minerals and known for its skin-care benefits. But here, it’s more than a beauty secret – it’s the main ingredient for wild games and unforgettable memories! Festival-goers can enjoy mud wrestling, mud slides, obstacle courses, giant mud baths, and even a mud prison (yes, you’ll get gloriously messy).

When the sun sets, the fun continues with live music concerts, fireworks, and beach parties that keep the energy going late into the night. Whether you want to relax by the sea or join the rowdiest mud fight of your life, Boryeong is the place to be in the Korean summer.
