"Come Enjoy Wild Ginseng" ... Geochang County Hosts the 3rd Geochang Wild Ginseng Festival

Held from the 19th to the 22nd at Geochang Changpowon Area

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 17th that the Geochang Wild Ginseng Association will hold the "3rd Geochang Han Geochang Wild Ginseng Festival" for four days from the 19th to the 22nd at the multipurpose plaza of Geochang Changpoweon.

To popularize wild ginseng, which is effective but expensive and rare, making it difficult for the general public to access, the county has been hosting the wild ginseng festival to promote wild ginseng carefully cultivated root by root on the beautiful mountain slopes of Deogyusan, Jirisan, and Gayasan surrounding Geochang nationwide.

The Geochang Wild Ginseng Festival was first held in 2018 to promote the excellence of wild ginseng, a regionally specialized forest product, enhance brand value, and expand sales channels. After the 2nd festival in 2019, it was suspended due to COVID-19 and is now being held again after three years.

The festival will consist of various events including an opening ceremony, Geochang wild ginseng promotion and sales booths, congratulatory performances, a national song contest, wild ginseng sales live commerce, wild ginseng auction events, and experiential activities.

County Governor Goo In-mo said, "Through the festival marking its 3rd edition, we will promote the excellence of Geochang wild ginseng and create an opportunity to expand sales channels, actively supporting it so that it can establish itself as a representative festival of Geochang-gun."
