Held every year in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do, the Nonsan Strawberry Festival is one of Korea’s premier festivals celebrating a regional specialty. As the nation’s leading strawberry-producing area, Nonsan has built a stable production base and efficient distribution network. Building on these strengths, the festival has evolved into an industry-oriented event that integrates agriculture, food processing, and tourism. The festival features strawberry sales and tastings, hands-on experience programs, performances, exhibitions, and industry networking events. It is distinguished by the active participation of local farmers and small business owners, who play a central role in its operation. Designated as a Cultural Tourism Festival by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for 2026–2027, the festival is also expanding its international reach and strengthening industry partnerships in preparation for the 2027 International Strawberry Industry Expo.

Gwanchoksa Temple in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do is located at the foot of Banyasan Mountain (100 meters in elevation). This temple enshrines a Seokjomireukbosalipsang Buddha (Treasure), which was built over the course of 38 years, beginning in 967 during the Goryeo period. According to legend, while a lady was picking fernbrake on Banyasan Mountain, she heard a baby crying. When she went over, there was no baby but instead was a large rock sticking out from the ground. Upon hearing this story, the government ordered a Buddha statue to be made from the rock. This Buddha statue, widely known as ‘Eunjimireuk Buddha,’ is the largest stone Buddha in Korea (18.12 meters in x_height, 9.9 meters in girth, 1.8 meters in the length of ears, 2.43 meters at the x_height of crown). There are many other cultural heritages in this temple and every April, a splendid cherry blossom tunnel stretching from Nonsan to Gwanchoksa Temple is at its peak.
