The county has embarked on systematic festival preparations, including discovering stay-type nighttime programs that can contribute to increasing residents' income for a successful festival.

At the opening ceremony on the 11th of next month, national singer Song Ga-in, who is from Jindo, will make a special appearance, and on the 12th, a recording of the nationwide singing contest will be held on a special stage at Gage, the festival venue, creating a festival space where the entire nation and tourists can enjoy together.

Additionally, the festival has diversified programs that visitors can participate in, such as the "Gyeonwoo and Jiknyeo" love preliminary contest for 44 couples meeting on the sea road and the Bong Halmoni (Mulberry Grandmother) contest.

Nighttime content includes the sea road night landscape lighting and multimedia laser shows, along with the creation of a picnic zone with air domes on the beach of Gage Beach, making the festival site comfortable.

A county official said, "This festival will operate richer and more diverse programs that can revitalize the local economy and increase tourist satisfaction," adding, "We will prepare a substantial festival by strengthening safety management to ensure that tourists visiting the festival site can see, enjoy, and be satisfied."
