Namhae-gun Hosts 'Mijo Port Anchovy Festival Planning Exhibition' in Seoul

Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam, is holding a special exhibition titled "Mijo Port Anchovy Festival Meets Seoul" at the Korean Food Culture Space Eum Gallery located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, from the 23rd to June 11th.

Gyeongnam Namhae-gun will hold a special exhibition titled 'Mijo Port Anchovy Festival Encountered in Seoul' in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Korean Food Promotion Institute under the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, aiming to soothe the disappointment over the unavoidable cancellation of this year’s Mijo Port Anchovy Festival and to actively promote Namhae’s agricultural and marine products.

The exhibition features videos and photos from past anchovy festivals to promote the 18th Mijo Port Anchovy Festival scheduled for next year. A photo zone is also set up where visitors can capture moments as if they were actually at the Mijo Port Anchovy Festival site.

Additionally, models of Namhae’s seafood dishes and various processed agricultural and marine products are introduced, with QR codes provided to encourage online sales.

In particular, a program called “A Merry May Christmas Card to Myself” allows visitors participating in the exhibition to write messages on cards and drop them into a mailbox. One year later, just before the Mijo Port Anchovy Festival, they will receive an invitation to the festival addressed to themselves. Visitors who bring their cards to the festival will be offered special benefits such as discounts or souvenirs.

An official from Namhae-gun stated, “This is a special opportunity to experience next year’s Mijo Port Anchovy Festival in Seoul beyond the space of Namhae Mijo. We will properly renew the Mijo Port Anchovy Festival, which is taking a break this year, and prepare to make it a richer and more fulfilling event.”
