Festivals & crowds

진흙페스티벌, 불꽃축제, 맥주축제 — pick your chaos.

Korea festivals hard: 보령 머드축제 (mud), 부산 불꽃축제 (fireworks), 진주 남강 유등축제 (lanterns), and 대천 밤바다 축제 too. Spring cherry blossoms (벚꽃) are their own season.

Crowds peak at opening weekends. Arrive before 11 a.m., leave before 6, or embrace the human river with a friend's wrist strap.

Festival food = street food doubled. Learn 닭꼬치, 군옥수수, 회오리감자 by smell. It works.
