The Saenggeo Jincheon Culture Festival is a traditional local cultural festival representing Jincheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, held since 1979. Each autumn it takes place along Baekgokcheon in Jincheon-eup. It aims to inherit and develop local culture, offer opportunities to enjoy the arts, improve residents’ and visitors’ quality of life, strengthen community unity and revitalise the local economy through regional history and culture. Programmes include folk arts competitions, local food competitions and ssireum wrestling, alongside performances, exhibitions, activities and food markets for different generations.
