Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival: A Saturday Course That Runs into Fireworks
From bare-hand fish catching and a live auction to the fishing boat parade and opening event
If you want to enjoy seafood activities at Jukbyeon Port and stay for the evening fireworks, plan around Saturday, November 7. The 2026 Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival takes place from November 6 to 8 around Jukbyeon Port in Uljin, and this list picks four programs scheduled on Saturday: live fish catching, an on-the-spot auction, the fishing boat parade, and the opening event.
If you like hands-on activities, start with bare-hand live fish catching at 13:30; if you're curious about the port's trading atmosphere, start with the on-the-spot seafood auction at 14:00. A fishing boat parade celebrating the opening is scheduled for 17:00, so you can enjoy the afternoon programs and then flow into the port's evening scenery.
The fireworks are scheduled as part of the opening ceremony and opening performance segment from 17:30 to 18:30. The start time and duration of the fireworks alone haven't been announced separately, so it's more accurate not to think of this hour as a standalone fireworks show. Choose the daytime activities you want to join, then add meals, breaks, and the opening event.

Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival Opening Event and Fireworks
If fireworks are your reason for visiting Jukbyeon Port, put the November 7 opening event at the center of your plans. The official schedule presents 17:30 to 18:30 as a segment that includes the main opening ceremony, the opening performance, and fireworks.
The full hour isn't a fireworks show, so it makes sense to plan on watching the opening proceedings too. Celebration performances follow by Park Joo-hee at 18:30, Park Hyun-bin at 19:00, and Park Seo-jin at 19:30, making it a good fit for visitors who want to enjoy the port at night all the way through the concerts.

Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival Bare-Hand Live Fish Catching
If you want to go a step beyond browsing a food festival, check out the bare-hand live fish catching activity. It's on Saturday's schedule from 13:30 to 14:00, a good pick for families or groups of friends arriving earlier than the evening opening event.
Since you'll be catching fish yourself, it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes in case your clothes or shoes get wet. The public schedule doesn't list the number of participants, how to register, or fees, so if you'd like to join, first ask at the on-site operations booth whether registration is available.

Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival Live Seafood Auction
Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival On-the-Spot Seafood Auction
An on-the-spot seafood auction is scheduled on Saturday from 14:00 to 14:30. It follows right after the live fish catching activity, so you can pair them: finish the hands-on activity, then take in the port's distinctive trading atmosphere.
If you want to place a winning bid yourself, check the items, quantities, and payment terms on site. The public information doesn't specify particular fish species or winning prices. If you plan to buy something during your trip, it's a good idea to think about how you'll store it and get it home. The image is a representative view of Jukbyeon Port, where the event takes place.

Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival Opening Celebration Fishing Boat Parade
If you want to see something that feels truly Jukbyeon Port, keep an eye on the opening celebration fishing boat parade. Scheduled on Saturday from 17:00 to 17:30, it serves as a bridge between enjoying seafood activities and food and moving on to the evening opening event.
As a port program featuring fishing boats, you can expect a different kind of scene from stage performances. However, the public schedule doesn't include the route or specific viewing spots, so instead of wandering onto breakwaters or work areas on your own, follow the walking and viewing routes guided on site.

We checked the 2026 schedule released by Uljin County on October 28. Registration and on-site operations may change, and the images are the festival's official poster and a representative view of Jukbyeon Port.
