The Yeongdeok Seafood Festival in North Gyeongsang Province has been upgraded this year, returning with fresh seafood and special events.

This year’s festival is designed as a participatory fishing village cultural event, with the highlight being the installation of a "Seafood Grill Zone" on-site, featuring large charcoal grills where visitors can cook Yeongdeok’s fresh seafood, including mulgajami, themselves.

In addition, a fishing village flea market will allow local merchants and residents to sell specialty products and run experience booths. The festival will also offer free tasting events, social media certification activities, and hands-on fish-catching experiences, providing a variety of programs for all generations to enjoy together.

During the day, the "Sun Stage" will host performances by invited singers, while at night, the "Moon Stage" will light up Chuksan Port. The festival will also feature performances by local clubs, bare-handed fish-catching, fishing boat boarding experiences, DJ parties, and singing contests, all adding to the joy of participation.

County Governor Kim Kwangyeol stated, "This festival is especially meaningful because residents have actively participated in everything from preparation to operation. I hope visitors will experience the true taste and romance of the Yeongdeok sea through this event, which helps strengthen the community and revitalize the region after overcoming the great hardship of the Gyeongbuk wildfire in March."
