The main program is "Wise Life of a Royal Physician." In this activity, guardians and children team up to learn about the function and food therapy practices of the royal medical institution, Naeuiwon, during the Joseon Dynasty through both theoretical lessons and acupuncture. The program will be held twice a day on the 18th and 19th, for a total of four sessions.

There will also be an experience zone making use of educational kits, activity sheets, and pop-up books. Participatory events include "Exploring Royal Artifacts in Textbooks," where participants solve activities using kits that replicate the royal seals or Jongmyo ritual vessels; "Snap a Photo in Royal Attire!" where participants can try on Gonryongpo and Jeokui royal costumes and take photos; and "The King's Refreshing Drink, Tasting Jehoyang," where visitors can sample Jehoyang, a traditional summer beverage of the Joseon royal family. On-site registration is available for those who wish to participate.
