Overview
The Boryeong Mud Festival is Korea’s leading global summer festival, where visitors can enjoy mud in every possible way. Overlooking the expansive Daecheon Beach, the festival features a variety of zones, from the General Zone for full-scale mud activities to the Family Zone and Water Park Zone, where visitors of all ages can cool off and have fun safely. During the day, mud attractions help beat the summer heat, including Mud Mob Scene, a one-of-a-kind program featuring DJ and EDM performances and blasts from mud water cannons. At night, the excitement continues with a spectacular drone show

🇰🇷 Copy this into Naver Map or Kakao Map
Google Maps cannot give walking or transit directions inside Korea — Korean law restricts map-data export. Naver Map and Kakao Map can, but they find far more when you search in Korean. Copy and paste:
📊 How busy this area gets
Visitor-volume index for 보령시, from Korea Tourism Organization big data. 1.00 = that area's own yearly average, so this compares the area against itself — not against Seoul.
The index covers the whole district, not the festival ground itself. Use it to pick a month, not a day. · Aug 1.16 / Oct 1.20
🅿️ Nearby attractions — with actual parking capacity
Most sites only say "parking available." These are official figures from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, so you can judge before you drive.
Names and addresses here stay in Korean on purpose. Google Maps cannot give directions inside South Korea, and NAVER Map / KakaoMap find these places only under their Korean names — copy an address above and paste it straight in.
🏮 Traditional market days during the festival
Korean country markets open only on days ending in fixed digits — every 5 days. These are the actual dates they open while the festival runs, so you can add one to the same trip.
