Discussion on the Operation Plan for Hampyeong County's '25th Hampyeong Butterfly Festival'

Hampyeong County has begun preparations for the 25th Butterfly Grand Festival, scheduled to be held at Hampyeong Expo Park from April 28 to May 7.

According to the county on the 7th, a briefing session on the promotion plan for the 25th Hampyeong Butterfly Grand Festival was held the previous day in the small conference room of the county office.

Presided over by County Governor Lee Sang-ik, the briefing session was attended by heads of departments and township chiefs, where they had in-depth discussions on the overall operation plans for the festival.

This year’s Butterfly Grand Festival features new programs such as the Eco-friendly Agriculture Hall, Butterfly Parade, and Ventriloquism Show, along with various experiential events that families and couples can enjoy together, including making leaf butterflies and insects, and outdoor butterfly flying.

Additionally, cultural and artistic events will be held in abundance, including feeding animals at the nature-friendly animal farm, catching mudfish, barley and pea threshing experiences, landscape exhibitions by emerging artists from Jeonnam, and the new - Bbaengpajeon Madanggeuk (traditional Korean outdoor play).

In particular, since the festival period includes holidays such as Children’s Day, it is expected to attract many tourists, so the festival will be operated with a focus on preparing measures for traffic and safety accidents.

A county official said, “We will do our best to prepare so that the Hampyeong Butterfly Grand Festival can be a festival where both residents and tourists can enjoy safely together.”
