South Korea has become known for its many seemingly random festivals but the Boryeong Mud Festival each July is perhaps the greatest among them. The mud supposedly has curing and cosmetic values and is spread as much for better health as good fun! The event is held on Daecheon Beach, so participants can jump into the ocean to rinse off.
