The Jeju January 15th Bonfire Festival in South Korea has been canceled

The Tamna Lichun Harvest Festival is held on the day of Lichun (the Beginning of Spring) in the Mokgunya area of Jeju City by magistrates and shamans. This festival marks the arrival of spring and the start of farming activities, with prayers for a bountiful harvest. The Lichun in Jeju symbolizes “the arrival of a new season,” representing the start of spring and a fresh beginning. Today's Lichun Harvest Festival showcases the essence of traditional ceremonies through various folk games and performances, such as SeGyeong Games (a representative farming ritual of the Jeju Harvest Festival), welcoming ceremonies, and Lichun mask dances. To reach the Mokgunya area in Jeju City, take bus numbers 200, 300, or 500 from the bus stop outside the exit of Jeju International Airport, getting off at Gwondeokjeong Plaza or Mokgunya. Alternatively, take a taxi from the taxi stand outside the airport exit to the event venues—Gwondeokjeong, Mokgunya, or Jeju City Hall—which all take about 20 minutes.
