In particular, in preparation for the drone light show on the 8th, which is expected to attract the largest crowd during the festival period, a thorough on-site safety inspection was conducted for the ‘Mangyeong-dong Floating Special Stage’ where the lighting ceremony will take place, the spectator seats, floating bridges, the tunnel of wishes, and the Mulbit Naru rest area at the Kim Si-min Lake dock.

The city plans to prioritize safety and present new and diverse content at this October festival by reflecting the results of the ‘Safety Management and Crowd Density Simulation Research’ that has been prepared since February this year. Measures to eradicate overcharging at the festival site are also being finalized steadily.

The festival organizing committee and Jinju City agreed to perfectly supplement the improvement points raised during this on-site inspection before the opening.

Mayor Jo urged, “I hope everyone will do their best to prepare thorough safety measures and flawless festival preparations so that tourists can enjoy the festival safely and comfortably without any inconvenience.”
