The Boryeong Mud Festival 보령머드축제 is an annual festival which takes place during the summer in Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do - around 200 km south of Seoul, South Korea. The first Mud Festival was staged in 1998 and now this festival attracts about 2.5 million visitors to Boryeong. Boryeong mud is rich in minerals and good for one’s skin. The high quality sea mud is famous enough to make mud cosmetic products such as mud packs, mud soaps, etc.
When you go to the festival, don’t forget to bring a spare set of clothes and your bath toiletries. Once you get there, it will be hard not to get muddy. The top attraction is the mud sliding, full of fun and thrills, where you are covered completely in mud. You may romp around with your friends in the mud tub, which is good for your skin.
If you are interested in buying quality mud cosmetic products, they are available at the mud cosmetic exhibition for a reasonable price.
This year the festival dates are: July 16 - 24, 2011
Admission/Participation Fees: Free
