It is expected to be a golden opportunity to encounter Haenam’s agricultural and marine specialty products and foods, recognized as the highest quality nationwide.

To symbolize gathering strength to overcome COVID-19 with Haenam’s healthy food, a 50-meter-long vaccine rice cake will be cut, and vaccine kits containing Haenam gim, jocheong (grain syrup), and kimchi powder will be distributed to participants.

Kimchi mixing experiences using Haenam cabbage, which is in full harvest season, will be held 4 to 5 times daily during the festival, and the nationally renowned popular snack, sweet potato bread, can be enjoyed through the Minam Food Show.

At the closing ceremony, an MOU will be signed between Haenam County, the manufacturing company Agricultural Corporation Limited Liability Company Nabiwon, Haenam County Fisheries Cooperative, and the Gwangju Jeonnam Export Association to actively promote the launch of Haewutang and the development of food products.

Each event venue of the Haenam Minam Festival will limit the number of entrants according to quarantine levels, and only those who have completed vaccination can enter after making a prior reservation.

Visitors wishing to participate on-site can make reservations through the Haenam Minam Festival website and KakaoTalk channel, and major programs will be broadcast via the festival website, Haenam County Facebook, and YouTube.
