Overview
Namhae Garlic & Korean Beef celebrates Namhae’s signature agricultural products: garlic and premium Korean beef. The festival takes place at the Namhae Exile Literature Museum, with five nearby parking areas for easy access. Visitors can browse and purchase a wide range of local specialties in one place, prepared by local farmers and fishermen, and enjoy the event alongside residents. There is a shuttle bus that takes passengers back and forth between the parking lot and the festival venue.

🇰🇷 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 남해군, 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 1.18 / Oct 1.23
🏮 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.
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.
