This year's event was organized as a festival where all citizens could participate and enjoy together, rather than focusing solely on celebratory performances, in honor of the 70th anniversary of Wonju's elevation to city status.

The commemorative ceremony, which began at 6:30 p.m., featured the presentation of the Wonju Citizen Award and the Band Festival awards.

The celebratory performances included appearances by well-known singers such as Cho Junghyun, Baek Jiyoung, Daybreak, and No Brain, who delivered high-quality performances for the citizens.

In addition, the "Midnight Urban Picnic" held at the park in front of City Hall from 3 p.m. featured the "Water Light Playground" utilizing the fountain plaza, the "Starlight Market" offering signature Wonju foods and camping-style relaxation spaces, "Busking Performances" by local artists, and the "Moonlight Concert" with a movie screening, all of which received an enthusiastic response from citizens.

Won Kangsoo, Mayor of Wonju, said, "I would like to thank the Wonju Police Station, Wonju Fire Station, the voluntary crime prevention unit, the model drivers' association, related organizations and groups, and all the citizens for their generous support in making this event a success," adding, "We will continue to make the Wonju Citizens' Day event a place where everyone can share pride and hope, and where all citizens come together in unity."
