KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 (Bernama) -- UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, Jeonju in South Korea will host the 2019 Jeonju Bibimbap Festival, a fiesta of traditional Korean taste and charm.
With the ‘Mixing excitingly! Enjoying deliciously!’ slogan, the four-day festival beginning Oct 9, will be held at the Jeonju Hanok Village, Seohakdong Art Village, Jeonju Nambu Market and other spots in and around Jeonju.

The festival will re-enact tables set for Jeolla provincial governors and their foreign guests in the Joseon Dynasty period, according to the diary of a foreigner who visited the province 135 years ago.

In an eye-catching signature ceremony, a large amount of rice and other ingredients will be mixed in a jumbo bowl to make Bibimbap for about 5,000 servings at a time.
The festival will also display utensils proper to Jeonju and tableware made in Icheon, a UNESCO City of Crafts in Gyeonggi Province, Korea and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province, China.
Jeonju is a city that boasts a well-preserved traditional Korean culture and numerous Asian tourist attractions. Bibimbap is white rice mixed with an assortment of vegetables, minced beef and hot pepper paste.
