The festival grounds will be divided into five zones: Stage, Green Road, Heart Road, Smile Road, and Market Road. The Stage area will feature a marching band street parade and resident participation performances. On Green Road, visitors can experience carbon neutrality activities, enjoy a pet-friendly space, and try the "Baramgil Road," where bicycles can be ridden on the street. Heart Road will include workshop experiences, library programs, and a toy hospital, while Smile Road will offer a children's play area. Market Road will feature food stalls and a direct marketplace with sister cities.

According to the district, the festival was held for the first time last year and attracted about 10,000 visitors. This year, the operating hours have been extended by one hour and merchant participation has been expanded, increasing the number of experience and sales booths to approximately 140.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on that day. Vehicle access will be fully restricted along the Jinheung-ro section from Yeokchon Station to Eungam Station from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and city buses and village buses passing through this area will be rerouted. Detour routes can be found on the Eunpyeong-gu district website.

District Mayor Kim Mikyung stated, "I hope that everyone, from children to residents with pets, can mingle with neighbors and enjoy a special day on the car-free street," adding, "We ask for active participation and cooperation with the traffic control so that this festival can help spread carbon neutrality and eco-friendly transportation culture in everyday life."
