The event will include a national agility competition with a total of 107 teams participating. Agility is a sport in which dogs and handlers work together to navigate various obstacles. Participants will compete in a range of courses including jumps, tunnels, seesaws, and slaloms.

The festival will also host an eye contact contest where pets and their owners make eye contact to foster empathy. This game tests the concentration and bonding abilities of the pets. In addition, a variety of pet mini sports day programs will be available, including "Mugunghwa Flower Has Bloomed," "Hide and Seek," "Snack Grab," "Relay Race," "Treasure Hunt," and "O-X Quiz."

The venue will also offer grooming experiences, behavioral correction consultations for pets, health checkups, and educational programs.

As part of a local institution cooperation program, a pet pledge campaign will be held, along with activities such as making pet keyrings, animal drawing experiences using tablets, and family-oriented prize events.

During the festival, the "Art-ro 62 Market" will also be held within Yes Park. The market will feature ceramic and craft events linked to pets.
