This annual event, held under the theme "Red Waves of Spider Lilies, Embracing Hampyeong," promises to captivate visitors with one of the largest colonies of red spider lilies in Korea, a site recognized as one of the country's top 100 natural scenic spots. The festival was originally organized by the Haebo-myeon Red Spider Lily Festival Promotion Committee.

This year, the festival returns with an expanded lineup of activities, offering a mix of cultural, recreational, and healing experiences centered around the breathtaking blooms of the red spider lilies.

Craft enthusiasts can try their hand at making "Red Spider Lily Beaded Bracelets" or personalizing "Natural Handkerchiefs." Families can create their own family mottos with a professional calligraphy artist, while younger visitors can enjoy "Red Spider Lily Face Painting" sessions. One of the standout features of the event is the "Climb to the Top of Moaksan" program. Participants who reach the summit and share their photos on social media will receive a special souvenir, and for every photo posted, the Hampyeong Festival Tourism Foundation will donate 10,000 KRW to a local charity, making this not only an adventurous activity but also a philanthropic one.
