The Sancheong Herbal Medicinal Festival is a celebration for those interested in traditional herbal medicine. Dongui bogam (Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine) and its author, Heo Jun, are highly regarded in Korean medicine. Sancheong, where Heo Jun studied, is home to Jirisan Mountain, rich in medicinal herbs with over 1,000 species and often seen as a treasure trove by Korean medicine doctors. The festival features Korean medicine clinics offering treatments like acupuncture, while the festival square is transformed into an herbal garden with photo zones, tea drinking spots, spaces for making herbal flower pots, and exhibitions and sales of herbal flower pot goods. Visitors can also participate in making herbal sweet rice puffs, nostalgic herbal dalgona candy, herbal cocktails, and herbal tea brewed in a large decoction pot.
