The volunteer kickoff ceremony for Bibimjigi, the volunteers and festival staff who will enrich the '2024 Jeonju Bibimbap Festival,' Jeonju City's representative food festival in Jeonbuk, was held.
On the 30th, Jeonju City held the Bibimjigi kickoff ceremony at the Jeonju Sports Complex event hall, attended by about 50 people including volunteers and festival staff who will assist the festival.
At the ceremony, guidance on the overall festival was provided to 30 volunteers and 10 staff members to ensure smooth festival progress. Essential training such as safety and kindness education was also conducted.
The Bibimjigi received CPR training prioritizing the safety of visitors. They pledged to create a safe festival through training on guiding movement paths to prevent crowding. Customized education such as gender equality training to prevent sexual harassment and to consider socially vulnerable groups like the elderly was also provided to strengthen the capabilities of the volunteers.
Meanwhile, the '2024 Jeonju Bibimbap Festival' is scheduled to be held for four days from October 3 to 6 at the Jeonju Sports Complex area.
This year's Bibimbap Festival is planned as a complex cultural and artistic festival where visitors can enjoy various Jeonju foods themed around Bibimbap and mixing, as well as cultural and artistic events encompassing both tradition and modernity.
The main event of the festival includes a large-scale Bibimbap performance commemorating the completion year of the Jeonju Sports Complex, with 1,963 participants including Jeonju citizens and tourists. The city aims to register this performance with the Korea Records Institute. In addition, various events and programs such as the Jeonju Food Theme Pavilion, Bibim Parade, and Bibim Treasure Hunt will be prepared.
