Introduction

Icheon is famous for producing the best rice in Korea. In fact Icheon rice is so good that it used to be served to the kings of Korea in the past, and is still highly thought of today. The Icheon Rice Culture Festival celebrates its famous rice and also the local agricultural practices.

Major events of the festival include a reenactment of the parade that transported rice to Hanseong (the old name for Seoul) to be presented to the king, and a huge rice cauldron that is capable of feeding thousands of people.
