The food prices at the '23rd Soraepogu Festival,' opening on the 15th, will mostly be set below 10,000 won.
Namdong-gu, Incheon, announced on the 8th that it will participate in the 'Fair Price Campaign' promoted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization for the operation of the food zone at this year's Soraepogu Festival. This campaign aims to eradicate overcharging at local festivals by disclosing food information sold at the festival in advance.
According to the district, this year's Soraepogu Festival food zone will consist of several food trucks as well as food booths operated by the Saemaeul Women's Association and the Soraepogu Traditional Fish Market Merchants' Association. Most of the food will be priced under 10,000 won, allowing tourists visiting the festival to enjoy a variety of dishes without burden.
The Saemaeul Women's Association food booth will sell Bindaetteok (kimchi pancake) and banquet noodles for 5,000 won, tteokbokki for 3,000 won, and a set of 3 fish cakes for 2,000 won. The Soraepogu Traditional Fish Market Merchants' Association food booth will sell a set of 2 fried crabs for 15,000 won, a set of 12 steamed shrimp (medium size), and a set of 7 grilled gizzard shads, each priced at 10,000 won.
