The award ceremony was held at City Hall on December 4. Civilians and officials who contributed to the festival's success in various fields-including traffic and safety management, emergency medical support, cooperation with traditional markets and local businesses, festival planning and operation, public-private and corporate partnerships, as well as promotional and administrative support-attended the event.

This year's Wonju Dumpling Festival achieved three major outcomes simultaneously: safe operations with no accidents, recovery of local business sales, and increased citizen participation, receiving enthusiastic responses from both residents and tourists.

In particular, the festival was praised as a "citizen-centered event" thanks to the combined efforts of organizations and groups responsible for traffic control and order maintenance, the swift response of emergency medical teams, the voluntary participation of traditional market and store merchants, and the collaboration among companies, youth, and organizations.

Won Kangsoo, Mayor of Wonju, stated, "Because of your dedication, the Wonju Dumpling Festival could remain a safe and heartwarming event that will be remembered by our citizens."
