This 'Ogamsa Festival (Festa)' was held successfully over two days, from September 6 to 7, under the theme of 'Exciting.' The event was divided into a one-night, two-day accommodation program and a same-day visit program.
Participants in this Ogamsa Festival (Festa) enjoyed trekking along the Hoengseong Lake Trail, pottery-making experiences at the Jang Songmo Ceramic Research Institute, tasting experiences at the Kooksoondang Brewery’s Tasting Hall, and activities at the Ogamsa Festival (Festa) promotional booth. In addition, families successfully discovered stay-type programs by making steamed buns and participating in eco-friendly craft experiences at the Anheung Steamed Bun Morakmorak Village.
The 'Ogamsa Festival (Festa),' jointly organized by the Five Steps project and the Gangwon Tourism Foundation, has developed a total of more than 10 stay-type tourism programs for each city and county. From September 16 (Tuesday) to September 17 (Wednesday), an encore tour program will be offered on weekdays for one night and two days, presenting the Ogamsa Festa Encore Tour. This is expected to serve as a pilot demonstration of the potential for further development into stay-type tourism products.
Choi Sunghyun, CEO of the Gangwon Tourism Foundation, stated, "In celebration of the '2025-2026 Gangwon Visit Year,' we have prepared a local stay-type tourism experience in the Yeongseo inland region that allows visitors to feel and taste with all their senses, rather than just sightseeing." He added, "Through the 'Ogamsa Festival (Festa),' we hope to widely promote the charm of Yeongseo inland, and we invite everyone to create special memories in Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, the K-tourism capital of gastronomy and healing."
