<news1><![CDATA[The ‘2026 Anseong-matchum Namsadang Baudeogi Festival,’ a flagship traditional cultural festival in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, came to a successful close after drawing more than 600,000 visitors over four days.

Celebrating its 26th edition this year, the festival - which has brought the charm of tradition to the world - succeeded in achieving both a successful turnout and the revitalization of the local economy through its abundant hands-on activities, stages for citizen participation, and eco-friendly operations free of price gouging.

The festival featured a diverse lineup of programs, ranging from tightrope walking and fire-spinning activities at the Baudeogi Theme Park for children to World Heritage Master Classes on the main stage and a traditional performing arts festival.

In particular, officials from the embassies of five countries, including Italy and Costa Rica, visited the event, and by providing multilingual signage and assigning volunteer interpreters, the festival enhanced convenience for international visitors and solidified its status as a global festival.

This festival generated significant economic benefits, with sales of agricultural and specialty products totaling KRW 2.28 billion, the barbecue zone for livestock products bringing in KRW 203 million, and the Anseong Cultural Market generating approximately KRW 136 million.

The city facilitated the travel of approximately 73,000 people by operating shuttle buses and minimized on-site congestion through live traffic updates on YouTube.]]></news1>
