The festival consisted of ▲Dano ritual ▲Breaking the jar ▲Binarri (traditional Korean shamanistic chant) ▲Gayageum performance ▲Pungmul troupe and Bukcheong lion dance performers.



Mayor Chaehyunil stated, “Due to the ongoing spread of COVID-19, we had to significantly downscale the festival, but we will put all our efforts into quarantine activities and vaccination promotion so that next year on Dano Day, all residents can enjoy the festivities joyfully.”
