Introduction
Located at Hupo Port, Uljin Dae Ge Frestival is famous for its crystal clear sea during crab season. Uljin crabs also known as “Dae Ge” in Korea are “bamboo crabs” because its legs look like bamboo. The festival is relatively small in scale but very exciting with the combination of delicious food and a beautiful seascape. During the festival, fresh crabs are sold at moderate prices, which give many people all the reason to visit the festival where they may taste freshly caught crabs.
Festival Overview: The Uljin Snow Crab Festival features Uljin’s specialty, the snow crabs. Programs include Uljin Snow Crab Kimbapmari, Uljin Snow Crab auction, Nadoya Uljin Snow Crab leg model, and picking snow crabs off of fishing nets. This year, there will be a completely new program lineup such as boarding navy war vessels, sea vessel parade, snow crab fishing and sunrise aboard a ship, raft rowing competition, calligraphy arts exhibition, and a Pohang Stealers soccer team signing.
Festival HighlightThe Uljin Dae Ge Festival attempts to break the Guinness Book of World Records with a huge Gimbab (Korean-style sushi) stuffed with crab on the second day. Gimbab is given to participants and visitors for free. This is a special experience for everyone. Furthermore, the price of crabs is moderate compared with other areas. Be sure to get a chance to taste these fresh crabs!
