On the 31st, a peach song festival will be held, along with performances by invited singers such as Punggak Doyeong and Nam Jin.

At the peach appraisal venue set up on one side of the festival site, the entries for the appraisal will be exhibited, and farmers will sell peaches.

A county official said, "Through this festival, we hope to inform consumers of the excellence of peaches, Hwasun's representative agricultural product, and help increase farmers' income," adding, "We ask for the interest and participation of the residents."
