[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Busan City announced on the 19th that it will hold the "14th Busan Family Festival" online from May 21 to 31 in celebration of Family Month in May.

This event, organized by 11 Healthy Family Support Centers and Healthy Family & Multicultural Family Support Centers in Busan, is designed to encourage families practicing "social distancing in daily life" and to wish for family harmony.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, instead of outdoor events, the festival is composed of events such as family experience play and family love challenges to allow many families to participate online.

For the family experience play, experience kits will be delivered to 1,000 families residing in Busan to enjoy the activities with their children. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10 a.m. on the 19th through the Healthy Family Support Center websites of each district and county.

After participating in the experience, participants can upload reviews and certification photos on the Busan Healthy Family Support Center website by the 31st. Among these, 30 families will be selected for a prize-giving event.

For the family love challenge, during the event period, parents and children create various hearts together and post them on their Instagram accounts. By adding the mandatory hashtags '#2020BusanFamilyFestival' and '#FamilyHeartChallenge' when uploading certification photos, 20 participating families will be selected to receive prizes.

A city official said, "This family festival is the first online event of its kind nationwide," and added, "We hope it will be a time for families to experience harmony and love."
