Geumsan County will extend the operating hours of its signature red ginseng foot bath program, part of the 43rd Geumsan World Ginseng Festival held for ten days starting September 19, until 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays during the festival period.

The operating hours on weekdays and Sundays will remain the same, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This allows visitors who travel from afar to enjoy the weekend festivities at a more relaxed pace.

For families visiting with elementary school-aged children (born between 2013 and 2018), there will be a special event offering free red ginseng foot bath experiences for the children.

In addition to the red ginseng foot bath, the festival grounds will feature booths for red ginseng facial mask massages, red ginseng ear acupressure, and making traditional herbal Ssanghwatang patches, allowing people of all ages to experience the health benefits of ginseng.

The county will also extend the operating hours of other popular booths for families, such as the Geumsan Ginseng Art Experience and various food stalls, until 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

A county official stated, "Through family-friendly experiences that can be enjoyed with children, we hope to spread a healthy festival culture and promote the excellence of ginseng."
