[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, will hold the ‘Hapcheon Vacation Festival’ from July 30 to August 7 at Jeongyang Leisure Sports Park by the Hwanggang River.

Held under the theme ‘Summer in Hometown - Rest and Relaxation with Family,’ this festival focuses on Hapcheon as a happy place for children, featuring the clear water and sandy beach of the Hwanggang River and summer games enjoyed by children.

At Jeongyang Leisure Sports Park, which has the clear water and clean sandy beach of the Hwanggang River overlooking Hambyeokru Pavilion, facilities such as a water playground for children, stepping stones and ground fountains for all ages, and a stream utilizing the excellently cool water of the Hwanggang River are installed, allowing visitors to spend a hot summer coolly.

Shade nets and colorful umbrella shades that block the hot summer sun will be installed, and on the riverside sandy beach, palm tree shades and water flowing from the stream will open sandy water paths, providing an optimized space for sand play.

To reduce inconvenience for participants, picnic sets, sand play sets, and parasols will be available for rent on site, and maximum shade will be provided for comfortable rest in nature. Event programs will include magic shows and busking performances.

The four-season beautiful Hwangmaesan County Park (Arboretum) will offer free parking to tourists visiting the festival venue during the Hapcheon Vacation Festival period, so visitors to the festival can take note of this.

Moon Dong-gu, Director of Tourism Promotion who prepared this festival, said, “I hope children can feel joy and happiness in Hapcheon, which has beautiful mountains and clean water, and grow into wise and kind-hearted individuals.”
