The festival is located on Daecheon beach, you'll know you're in the right place when you'll see a big crowd dancing, singing and covered in mud. The mud festival is one of my favorite Korean festivals. It's so lively with fun activities. You won't get bored there.

Activities:
1- Mud bath and massage.
2- Mud slide.
3- Mud games.
4- Mud marathon.
5- Mud kids land.
6- Opening and closing ceremony.
7- Live concerts.
And other special events will take place during the festival, Starting July 17th to 26th

Eating and drinking around Daecheon area:
You don't have to worry about what you are going to eat at all. There are countless seafood restaurants along side the beach and around it.
Fried chicken and beer joints are also popular there. There are even some delivery guys who walk around the beach with already cooked chicken and sell it. So, while you're laying on the sand enjoying the sun, your lunch or dinner will come to you.
There are a few cafes that serve sandwiches too. There will be food stalls around the festival that sells shawarma and chicken kebabs, Turkish ice cream.
You can buy drinks from anywhere, 7/11, 25GS, C&U.

Sleeping in Daecheon:
Okay, that might be the hardest part. You should book a room in advance if you're planing to spend a night or two at the festival. All of the good rooms will disappear quickly in the first couple of days of the festival. The rooms that are left are either very bad or far from the beach.

Other things to do:
1- Walk around and explore the town.
2- Play fair games.
3- Visit the trick eye museum.
4- Go to the water park across the street from the beach.
