At the entrance of the festival, the Goeasan Volunteer Center booth offered refreshing goji berry drinks for free, perfectly complementing the festive atmosphere and warmly welcoming visitors.
In one corner of the venue, the Red Market featured a variety of local specialties, particularly organic foods, as Goeasan is known for its active eco-friendly agriculture.
Many farms practice eco-friendly cultivation methods, reducing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, ensuring that visitors can trust the food being sold.
The Goeasan Cultural and Sports Center lobby hosted a firefly experience program, which was particularly popular among families, allowing children to learn about nature while observing fireflies at night.
True to its name, the red flavor-themed food zone was also a highlight, featuring spicy dishes like tteokbokki, dumplings, smoked duck, and handmade hot dogs, all presented with striking visuals.
The food truck zone added to the lively atmosphere, offering various snacks and beverages, with a 5% discount for visitors wearing red clothing, hats, or shoes.
