Celebrating its 29th edition, the Boryeong Mud Festival returns to the coast of South Chungcheong Province for 17 days of recreation. The festival takes place across multiple venues, primarily at Daecheon Beach and the Boryeong Mud Expo Plaza. It offers a variety of specialized zones catering to different audiences, including a general activity area, a family-oriented zone, and a dedicated waterpark designed specifically for children.

The 2026 program introduces several new attractions, such as an infinity pool overlooking the West Sea where participants can experience mud activities with a view. Additionally, a new "mud cask zone" has been established, featuring 20 individual tubs for self-mud massages. These facilities complement traditional favorites like mud sliding and mud wrestling, utilizing the region's nutrient-rich mud.

As the sun sets, the festival transitions into a series of high-energy performances. The nighttime schedule includes events such as the KBS K-POP Super Live, Mud Rock Festa, and various EDM shows featuring DJ performances. International cooperation is a key theme for this edition, with the city hosting delegations from global sister cities to mark the festival's opening.
