The event venue is divided into four zones, offering a variety of media art experiences. In the History Zone, seven programs such as 'From Cheorwon to Cheorwon' and '80 Years of Liberation, Returning with Light' will shed light on Cheorwon's past and present. The Art & Tech Zone will feature six programs that combine cutting-edge technology and art, including 'Story of Cheorwon Mural Village' and 'Media Rock.'

In total, 29 programs will provide a rich array of attractions and entertainment.
In particular, this event stands out for its special consideration for those with limited mobility. To ensure that people with disabilities and the elderly can enjoy the nighttime media art without inconvenience, professional staff with medical and social welfare qualifications will be on hand to provide support. A demand-responsive shuttle bus service will also be available, sending a shuttle to the desired location for groups of 15 or more elderly or disabled participants.
A variety of performances and events will also be held, including 'Choi Seunghee's Bodhisattva Dance,' the 'Pororo Sing-Along Show,' and the 'Cheorwon Arts Troupe Convergence Performance,' making it a festival that everyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy.
Lee Hyun-jong, Governor of Cheorwon County, stated, "Through this media art festival, we have reinterpreted Cheorwon's unique historical value with a modern sensibility to provide new nighttime tourism content," adding, "We will continue to strive for the development of Cheorwon's culture and tourism in the future."
