Around Jindo Bridge, Jindo Dog sports, Uldolmok weekend market performances, and a naval sea parade will take place throughout the three days.

The opening ceremony will kick off the festival with a media naval battle drone show, a congratulatory performance by the band Naraeulchi, famous for the hit song "Beom Naeryeonda," and a fireworks show.

On the second day, the 1st of next month, there will be a Saturday folk trip unique to Jindo, Jindo Ssikkimgut, and Namdo Deulnorae performances. Additionally, Myeongnyang Magic Busking, a newly reborn media art version of the Myeongnyang naval battle reenactment (unlike the previous one using an actual ship), and the Namdo Pumba Master Exhibition will be held.

On the third and final day, there will be a Namdo Japga, Jindo Dasiraegi, and a nationwide Ganggangsullae contest, as well as a Peaceful Elegy march.
