The 24th 'Hampyeong Butterfly Festival' in Full Swing Preparing to Welcome Guests

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The 'Hampyeong Butterfly Festival,' which had been canceled due to the prolonged impact of COVID-19, is resuming after three years, and Hampyeong County is busy preparing to welcome festival guests.

According to the county on the 7th, the 24th Hampyeong Butterfly Festival Promotion Plan briefing was held that morning in the small conference room of the county office.

Presided over by County Governor Lee Sang-ik, the briefing was attended by heads of departments and township chiefs, who deeply discussed plans and operational measures for the entire festival.

In particular, since the festival period includes five holidays and is expected to attract many tourists, the focus will be on COVID-19 prevention, traffic, and safety accident countermeasures while operating the festival.

This year’s festival will feature new programs such as the Butterfly Playground, Wish Tunnel, and Aquatic Plant Pavilion, various events for Children's Day, as well as activities that families and couples can enjoy together, including feeding love parrots and outdoor butterfly releases.

Along with these, diverse cultural and artistic events will be held, including the Hampyeong Butterfly Media Facade and a special exhibition themed on flowers and gardens.

A county official stated, “The Hampyeong Butterfly Festival is a representative festival of Korea, having been designated as the Best Festival for five consecutive years by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, selected as a World Festival City in 2012, and awarded the Korea Festival Content Grand Prize, so we will ensure no negligence in preparations.”

Meanwhile, the 24th Hampyeong Butterfly Festival will be held from April 29 to May 8 at Hampyeong Expo Park and the second stage in Hampyeong-eup downtown, featuring a variety of programs including experiences, performances, and exhibitions.
