In Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, an autumn festival was held to recreate the history of dedicating various agricultural and special products to the king and the old ferry.

It is said that you can enjoy a different experience that combines tradition and modernity.

There is an issue reporter on the scene. Reporter Seo Jihyun!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's at the Yeoju Ogok Naru Festival.

[Anchor]
You can taste cauldron rice there?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

Do you see the steam behind me that's fluttering from the cauldron?

In this cauldron, Yeoju's rice is becoming delicious rice.

You can also make delicious bibimbap with freshly cooked Yeoju rice and five-grain rice here.

Some people are lining up to eat this cauldron rice even though it's raining.

Since ancient times, Yeoju has had the custom of buying and selling various agricultural products in a market formed around the Namhangang River ferry.

The Yeoju Ogok Naru Festival, which enjoys the traditional culture of Yeoju, will be held for three days from today to the 20th.

Today, the opening day, various events were held to wish for a good harvest with the start of the festival.

From the traditional traditional folk game of Yeoju, the Ssangyong-geo tug-of-war, to the rich harvest festival and the funeral procession.

'Jaengmadang' is full of food produced in Yeoju, such as rice topped with eggplant and fried vegetables, as well as five-grain bibimbap.In

'Ogok Yard', the 'Gwyneth of Grilled Sweet Potatoes' continues to be held, in which sweet potatoes are grilled directly in a super-large wood-fired sweet potato container.

In addition, you can purchase agricultural products grown in Yeoju, such as sweet potatoes, eggplants, and peanuts, at the Ogok Market in the form of Nanjeon.

In addition, you can try on various Joseon-era costumes, from Yeoju's representative symbols, King Sejong and Queen Soheon, to forklifts and water peddlers.

Then let's listen to the stories of citizens who are enjoying the festival.

[Song Young-sang (Cho Hyun-hee) / Songpa-gu, Seoul: I came here because I heard it's the biggest festival of the year, and it was good because there were so many booths and introductions such as beneficial food and agricultural products. I'm eating bibimbap after experiencing it and it's so delicious, and my mother is so satisfied.]

{Naru Madang' has a 'wish path' where wishes for health and happiness are written on Korean paper.

In the evening, you can make memories by moonlighting on the calm waters of the Namhangang River.

In addition, light, dance, percussion performances and fireworks that combine Korean traditional dance and percussion with colorful LEDs will embroider the night of Yeoju.It would be nice to have a friendly autumn outing with rich and colorful agricultural products in this place full of memories of

old ferry.
