The Changwon Jindong Fireworks Festival is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional Nakhwa Nori event, presenting a unique spectacle for citizens and tourists through firework displays over the sea.

The festival will begin with an opening ceremony at 7:30 p.m., followed by a ritual ceremony and other events. On the day of the festival, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., on-site registration will be available for up to 300 wish papers on a first-come, first-served basis. The collected wish papers will be ignited together with the fireworks display.

This year, in particular, the festival will feature the ignition of fireworks across the waters of Gwangam Port, creating a more three-dimensional and grand visual experience.

Kim Manki, Director of Culture, Tourism and Sports, stated, "We expect the Jindong Fireworks Festival, which blends traditional culture and marine scenery, to create special memories for citizens," adding, "We hope for the active interest and participation of many citizens and tourists."
