This year's festival, under the slogan "Villages Connected by Community, Hearts United," was organized as a venue for communication and harmony, bringing together citizens and village communities.

The event was attended by Mayor Bang Se-hwan, distinguished guests, and hundreds of citizens, who shared the achievements of the village communities and enjoyed a variety of hands-on activities.

The festival site featured experience and game booths prepared by each community, a Halloween photo zone, and cultural performances, all of which were met with enthusiastic responses from families.

On stage, the event began with a pre-ceremony performance by the Nosomo Children's Choir, which won the Encouragement Award at last year's Village Community Festival, followed by celebratory performances from youth and adult band teams, as well as various cultural performances prepared by the communities, further heightening the festive atmosphere.

In particular, among the 19 communities selected for this year's public contest, six were chosen as outstanding communities and received awards, celebrating their achievements over the past year.
