This event, themed "WOW (World culture Of Wonju)," is a festival where visitors can fully experience a variety of cultures through performances from around the world, as well as try on traditional costumes, participate in traditional games, and sample foods from different countries.

One of the highlights is the percussion group Anyapo's performance, "Africa of the Sun," which offers an interactive experience where performers and the audience freely exchange energy through the traditional rhythms and dynamic movements of West Africa.

In addition, there will be various activities such as photo zones, a "Travel Four-Cut" photo booth, hands-on experience booths, a cultural marketplace featuring a wide array of global products, and a mission stamp tour. Attendees who participate in the opening ceremony at 1:00 p.m. on the day of the festival will also receive a voucher for a Russian potato cake.

Director Lee Jihee stated, "I hope that both local citizens and multicultural families can come together and enjoy a meaningful day through this world culture festival, where diverse cultures and the arts are harmoniously blended."
