Gumi is home to a Nongshim ramen factory, and its ramen festival uses that industry link to turn the old downtown into a street-food festival. It runs around Gumi Station, Yeokjeon-ro, Munhwa-ro, the Geumri-dangil area and Saemaeul Jungang Market.

Before you go
- The food details on the official listing are last year’s (2025) and were still being updated for 2026, so treat the menu as unconfirmed.
- A news headline says Kakao T will run shuttle routes to the festival, but I could not confirm routes or fares.
- Crowds can be large in a town-center festival. Go early on a weekday afternoon if you can.
