This event was organized to commemorate the pilot operation of 'Homigotgan', to enhance the brand value of local agriculture by linking landscape agriculture with local food, and to explore ways to develop these resources into tourism assets.

Under the theme "I Want to Go to That Got," the festival attracted many citizens and tourists who enjoyed a variety of programs blending gastronomy and culture.

At the event, local young chefs introduced new landscape dishes such as Pollack Roe Mazesoba, Buckwheat Takoyaki, and Buckwheat Jambon Beurre, all made with crops grown in the Homigot landscape. There were also tea ceremonies using canola, barley, and buckwheat, as well as a popular kids' cooking class for children.

On the lawn of Homigot Sunrise Square, a bubble show and indie band performances heightened the festive atmosphere. Dedicated areas such as a beanbag zone, mat zone, and camping zone provided comfortable spaces for visitors to eat, relax, and enjoy, earning positive reviews.

Inside 'Homigotgan', a pop-up store showcased agricultural products related to landscape farming, Pohang's tropical fruits and seafood, as well as local goods and snacks, attracting many visitors.

In particular, through this pilot operation, 'Homigotgan' evaluated the effectiveness of its space and programs. Upon its official opening, it plans to develop into a hub that integrates local agriculture, culture, and tourism. It was recognized for its potential as a complex cultural space offering exhibitions, experiences, and relaxation, going beyond a simple sales venue.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok stated, "This Landscape Food Festa was a meaningful occasion to widely promote the appeal of Homigot landscape agriculture and local food, with participation from local farmers, fishermen, and young entrepreneurs. We will continue to expand sustainable models that connect Pohang's landscape agriculture with tourism in the future."
