Through diverse experiential and tourism content themed around 'Imsil N Cheese,' the festival offers special enjoyment to domestic and international visitors and elevates its status as Korea's leading cheese brand. In particular, visitors can fully enjoy a festival atmosphere that delights all five senses through a variety of programs, including 'Stretch My Cheese,' a large-scale participatory experience where participants stretch and share cheese together, as well as eye-catching exhibitions, exciting competitions, and gourmet programs that fill the mouth with happiness. Furthermore, this cheese festival holds deeper meaning and inspiration as a mutually beneficial event where local residents take the lead and work together in unity, going beyond simply welcoming tourists.
