Opening ceremony of the '2024 Pohang Yeongildae Music & Camping Festa' held on the 11th at Yeongildae Beach area.

This festival was organized to create a new camping culture that anyone?families, couples, men and women of all ages?can freely enjoy by combining the recently popular “camping and picnic” concept called “campnic” with a music festival, and to promote Pohang as a marine tourism city. It was hosted and organized by Daegu Ilbo.

On the first day, the 11th, a visible radio program featuring participants’ precious stories and song requests was held, along with the first preliminary round of the camping song contest to select the citizen king among about 250 participating teams, and various busking performances by local artists. The opening ceremony and a music festival featuring popular singers also took place.

On the second day, the 12th, busking performances continued, and in the afternoon, the final round of the camping song contest was held with a prize of 5 million won to select the king, receiving great response from the audience.

Additionally, a camping-terior (camping + interior) photo zone using emotional props recommended by famous camping YouTubers, which perfectly match camping, was set up to attract visitors’ attention. A camping fair introducing camping supplies from leading domestic camping companies and brands was also operated continuously, drawing high interest from camping enthusiasts.

Moreover, a campnic zone, a healing space where visitors could rest and prepare simple meals, was operated. In the campnic zone, a “zero waste” campaign was practiced to minimize trash output and keep the area clean, demonstrating leadership in eco-friendly camping culture.
