The Stage of Mungyeong Comes to the Village... First Step of the Traveling Harmony Festival
Tour Kicks Off in Nongam-myeon
Cultural Sharing to Continue Across Ten Towns and Neighborhoods
The "2026 Traveling Harmony Festival," designed for local residents who have limited access to cultural and artistic performances, has kicked off its full-scale tour, starting in Nongam-myeon.
The Mungyeong branch of the Federation of Artistic and Cultural Organizations of Korea announced that it successfully held the first event of the "2026 Traveling Harmony Festival" on the afternoon of June 19 in the plaza in front of the Nongam-myeon Administrative Welfare Center.
This event was organized to provide diverse performance experiences to residents in towns and neighborhoods with relatively low accessibility to culture and the arts, as well as to revitalize local communities.
This year, starting with Nongam-myeon, the festival is scheduled to travel through ten towns and neighborhoods in the Mungyeong area, continuing its performances.
In particular, this event was held in conjunction with the Nongam-myeon Dano Festival, further boosting community participation and excitement.
The festival featured a variety of programs, including a singing contest where residents took the stage themselves and performances by invited singers, receiving an enthusiastic response from those in attendance.
Baek Seunggil, head of the Mungyeong branch of the Federation of Artistic and Cultural Organizations of Korea, stated, "We prepared this so that residents can enjoy high-quality cultural and artistic performances close to home, without having to travel far," and added, "We will continue to work to ensure cultural and artistic opportunities are delivered evenly throughout the region."
Song Heeyoung, director of the Culture and Arts Division at Mungyeong City, said, "I hope the Traveling Harmony Festival will serve as a meaningful cultural experience for local residents who have limited access to cultural and artistic performances," adding, "We will continue to provide ongoing support so that all citizens can enjoy culture and the arts."
Mungyeong City plans to further expand community-oriented cultural and artistic projects in the future to reduce cultural disparities between regions and enhance the cultural welfare of its citizens.
The value of culture and the arts depends not on the size of the venue, but on how easily residents can access cultural experiences.
The "Traveling Harmony Festival" is a prime example of a lifestyle culture policy that brings the arts into everyday life for rural residents in areas with relatively limited cultural infrastructure.
