Description
The festival is held in the entire area of Chilgokbo Ecological Park, and conveys the message of peace to the world, while also wishing for peace in the global village and in the Korean Peninsula. This festival in Chilgok-gun, the Nakdong River battlefield, which was the last line of defense bastion for South Korean soldiers in the Korean War, is held every year from September to October. South Korea was defended by its citizens in 1950. It is a grand festival held in Chilgok in remembrance of the pain of that time and in gratitude to those who protected the country.
