The pre-ceremony festivities included a demonstration of the traditional Korean martial art Taekkyeon, a performance by Bamos Crew, a street dance club formed by children from Jinhae Hope House, and a performance by the Naval Education and Training Command's military band, kicking off the event in grand style. This was followed by the reading of the Charter of Children's Rights and the awarding of exemplary children and contributors to child welfare.

The experience booths offered various activities, including job experience programs with the navy, police, and fire departments, as well as booths dedicated to multicultural experiences and disability awareness to promote diversity. In particular, Korea Electric Power Corporation's Gyeongnam branch hosted an activity where children made cotton candy by riding self-powered bicycles. There were also five types of air sports activities, including basketball, baseball, and soccer, where children had a chance to break a sweat.

In addition, the event featured a talk concert by Jungbeureu, a nature YouTuber with 1.4 million subscribers known for rare animal content, as well as a bubble show, a magic show, and a random play dance performance, providing children with exciting, age-appropriate entertainment and opportunities to express themselves freely.

Jang Geumyong, Acting Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, "I would like to thank Admiral Kang Jungho, Commander of the Naval Education and Training Command, for creating this opportunity to celebrate the 104th Children's Day together with the navy, which symbolizes Jinhae. I also thank the children and citizens who fully enjoyed the prepared performances and experiences," adding, "Changwon City will continue to do its utmost to become a child-friendly city where children can grow up healthy and happy."
