This year's event has expanded in scale compared to last year's Wonju Innovation Beer Festival and Korea Tourism Organization World Festa, which collaborated to create a larger festival. More than 110 booths will be set up, including food and experience booths as well as public institution promotional booths.

In addition, there will be performances by local art groups, public institution clubs, and professional teams, along with the 'Innovation Aesalda' relay busking, part of the Cultural Innovation City Development Project, and public institution on-the-go busking performances.

Furthermore, a variety of events will be held to engage with visitors, including Blue Marble (a board game), lucky boxes, and SNS photo certification. In particular, reusable cups will be available for free rental, and visitors who bring their own reusable containers will receive a 500-won discount coupon, making this a festival that aligns with sustainable (ESG) management practices.

An event official stated, "We have prepared a variety of performances and delicious food so that hardworking citizens can enjoy themselves, and we ask for the interest and participation of local residents."
