This year's festival, held as part of the 2025 Gyeonggi Province Regional Representative Performing Arts Festival Support Project, was organized by the Namyangju branch of the Korean Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations (Chairman Lim Yongseok).

The event featured a variety of performances, including traditional Korean music, theater, and music, as well as art and photography exhibitions and hands-on programs. Citizens of all generations, from families to teenagers and seniors, participated and enjoyed a time of unity through art.

Starting with a large-scale silk calligraphy performance as the opening event, the festival included a traditional Korean music performance themed "Folk Songs Loved by Emperor Gojong," a mime play depicting family memories in sync with camera shutter sounds, and a play humorously addressing the stress of modern life, all of which received enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Additionally, the square featured various interactive experiences such as a plaza book picnic and art workshops, where citizens could participate directly, providing children and family visitors with opportunities to appreciate art.

Mayor Joo Gwangdeok, who attended the event, watched performances with citizens and toured the exhibitions and hands-on programs, offering encouragement to local artists.

Mayor Joo stated, "The Namyangju Arts Festival is a celebration created together by citizens and artists," adding, "The city will continue to provide strong support to make Namyangju a place where art becomes part of everyday life."
