Daegu Chimac Festival
The word “chimac or chimaek” is a portmanteau of chicken and maekju. Daegu Chimac Festival is the perfect summer night festival that will make you forget about the sweltering heat.
Hosted in the ‘Mecca of Chimaek’, Daegu, this festival is a celebration of chicken and beer at Duryu Park and surrounding areas. Daegu is the birthplace of major chicken brands like Kyochon Chicken, Hosigi Two Two Chicken, Chogajip Seasoned Chicken, and Ttang Ttang Chicken.
For five consecutive years, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has recognized the Daegu Chimac Festival as a “Cultural Tourism Festival.” The Daegu Chimac Festival isn’t just about endless plates of fried chicken and icy beers. It boasts unique concepts and experiences you won’t find anywhere else. The secret to its success lies in offering something truly special for every visitor.
