(Yanggu=Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Jae-hyun = The '2025 Youth Yanggu Punch Bowl Green Pepper Apple Festival' will be held for three days from October 31 to November 2 at the bustling area in front of the Punch Bowl Healing House in Haean-myeon.
The theme of this year's festival is 'Super Punch Bowl'.
A variety of exhibitions, foods, performances, and experience events centered around green peppers and apples, the region's representative agricultural products, will be held.
The festival is planned to expand the sales channels of farms and revitalize the local economy after the festival.
Starting with the green pepper festival in 2006, the festival combined apples in 2022 to increase the scale of the festival.
As one of the three major festivals of Yanggu County (Gomchu Festival, Belly Button Festival, Green Pepper Apple Festival), it has been made richer and more sophisticated in composition.
Various experience events such as making Ringoame (apple tanghulu), making green pepper moisturizer packs, and drawing green pepper apple characters will be held at the festival site.
In the green pepper apple experience zone, you can also make foods such as triangular gimbap, gangjeong, and waffles using green peppers and apples.
During the festival, performances by An Sun-yu, Park Gu-yoon, Jin Hae-jin, Seok I-jung, Seok Woo, Lee Ho-il, Jae-ha, and Im Joo-ri, as well as various events for visitors, will be held.
To create an eco-friendly festival that everyone participates in, the use of reusable containers will be actively introduced.
Yanggu County Mayor Seok Heung-won said, "I hope you enjoy the taste and fun of Yanggu County's representative agricultural products, green peppers and apples, and leave warm memories," and "We will do our best to increase farm income and revitalize the local economy after the festival."
