[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam held a preparation briefing on the 21st at Masanhappo-gu Office to ensure the successful hosting of the "22nd Masan Chrysanthemum Festival."

The meeting was presided over by Jo Myeong-rae, the 2nd Deputy Mayor of Changwon Special City, and about 19 department heads from the Masan Jungbu Police Station's Security and Traffic Division, the main office, affiliated agencies, and district offices attended to review preparations in areas such as chrysanthemum exhibitions, traffic, environment, and safety.

After each department reported on their respective tasks, participants exchanged opinions related to event preparations and pledged active cooperation to ensure no disruptions in this year's event by thoroughly reviewing issues identified during last year's festival.

The 22nd Masan Chrysanthemum Festival will be held under the slogan "Where the scent of chrysanthemums lingers on the autumn sea" for 12 days from October 29 to November 9 at Masan Marine New City, 3·15 Marine Nuri Park, Dongsom Island, and the old downtown areas (Changdong and Odongdong).

This year's representative work, "Tower of Precision Industry Promotion," is a model of the tower installed at Sinchon Square in Changwon City, embodying the citizens' aspirations for Changwon to make a leap forward as an advanced science industry hub and develop into a central city in Northeast Asia, coinciding with the launch of the 8th elected administration.

In addition, starting with the opening ceremony at 6:30 PM on October 28 at 3·15 Marine Nuri Park, various events such as the 2022 Changwon Dragon Boat Competition and the Changwon Honghabi Festival, along with linked exhibitions and experiential events, will be held to enrich the festival.

Notably, a pet village of approximately 660㎡ (200 pyeong) will be created within the Marine New City event site to allow visitors to enjoy the festival with their companion dogs.

Deputy Mayor Jo said, "Last year, the absence of nighttime events was regrettable, but this year, with the promotion of nighttime cultural and artistic performances at 3·15 Marine Nuri Park, we expect to provide visitors with more attractions and entertainment." He added, "I hope preparations will be thorough so that, through organic cooperation, the event can conclude safely without a single safety accident."
