On June 15, during the first meeting of the Festival Promotion Committee held in the first conference room of the county office, Kim Yang-tae was elected as chairman, and it was agreed that the 17th Cheongsong Apple Festival will be held for five days from November 1 to November 5 at the Yongjeoncheon Hyeonbiam area.

Regarding the festival theme, multiple proposals recommended by the Festival Promotion Committee were reviewed by gathering diverse opinions from various sectors and conducting a preference survey among Cheongsong-gun public officials, ultimately deciding on “Cheongsong Apples, a Brilliant Golden Feast.”

The theme of this year’s Cheongsong Apple Festival not only reflects the golden color symbolizing the gold medal for first place and the golden hue of the Hwanggeumjin Cheongsong apples known for their high sweetness and excellent texture, but also reinforces the reputation of Cheongsong apples, which have won the grand prize as Korea’s representative brand for 11 consecutive years. It also implies that the Cheongsong Apple Festival is a joyful celebration that everyone can enjoy.

Governor Yoon Kyung-hee stated, “We plan to thoroughly prepare special measures related to food to eradicate overcharging, which has recently been a controversy in local festivals, and above all, to ensure the festival is a safe and festive event.” She added, “We will do our best to continue the reputation of the Cheongsong Apple Festival as Korea’s representative festival and to transform it into a global festival.”
