Daegu Chimac Festival 2025 – Korea’s Ultimate Summer Food & Culture Celebration
The Daegu Chimac Festival is one of Korea’s most iconic summer cultural tourism events, combining two beloved favorites: chicken (“chi”) and beer (“mac”). First launched in 2013, the festival has since attracted over 1 million cumulative visitors, playing a vital role in revitalizing the local economy and boosting Daegu’s reputation as a global cultural brand.
Far more than just a food and drink event, the festival features live performances, exhibitions, interactive experiences, business showcases, and international exchange programs, offering endless fun and entertainment for all ages.
In 2025, the festival will take place over five days, from July 2 to July 6, throughout the Duryu Park area in Daegu.
