This year marks the 16th edition of the festival, which is organized under the theme "A More Exciting Safety Festival for Ulsan Citizens." The festival has expanded participation with a variety of programs that allow citizens to watch, learn, feel, and experience safety firsthand.

The festival will feature over 100 programs centered around hands-on experiences, including the opening ceremony, experiential activities (daily safety, disaster safety, vehicles, virtual reality), competitions (firefighting song contest, safety golden bell quiz), and side events (story concert, fire truck and equipment exhibition, firefighting safety OX quiz).

The event will include a pre-ceremony performance, the main event, and a tour of the venue for distinguished guests.

The pre-ceremony will feature a traditional Korean fan dance performance by the Taehwaru Art Troupe and a laser performance by the guests. Unique safety experiences such as rock climbing, earthquake simulation, descent devices, and adventure activities will be available, and participants who complete at least three main experience missions will receive safety-related prizes.

Main side events include a talk concert titled "How to Help Our Children Study Well" by Kang Sungtae, known as the "God of Study," a safety cinema, firefighting safety musical, B-boy performance, and balloon art show.

In addition, the festival offers a variety of activities and attractions such as face painting, 119 printmaking, coloring fire trucks, ball pool, and a mini playground, creating a festive space for families to enjoy together.
