In particular, the opening ceremony at 2 p.m. on the 5th will kick off with a gilnori performance by the Bongsan Waunongak Preservation Association, followed by special performances from trot singers Miss Kim and Song Yuna, a residents’ singing contest, and a special show by the Damyang Entertainers Association, further heightening the festival atmosphere.
There will also be award ceremonies to boost local pride and unity, including the ‘Oldest Longevity Award,’ ‘Longevity Couple Award,’ ‘Four-Generation Harmony Award,’ and ‘Multicultural Model Award.’
Shim Gapcheol, president of the Yongmyeon Youth Association, said on the 2nd, “We have prepared this festival to widely promote the beauty of Chuwolsan’s cherry blossoms, which embrace Damyang Lake, and to create an event where local residents and tourists can mingle together,” adding, “We ask for the interest and participation of many visitors in this festival, where you can make special memories with cherry blossoms in nature.”
