The 7th Haenyeo Festival was held under the theme, “Sumbisori to the world over the sea” from Oct. 17 to 19 at the Haenyeo Museum, Gujwa-eup. This is the seventh year the festival has been held.
Jeju province’s chief of the marine industry said, “We will promote the festival as the representative marine cultural festival in Jeju, by sharing awareness of Jeju haenyeo and for listing as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.”
The official continued by saying that sumbisori and haenyeo culture deserves to be more widely known and the festival is a key part of that.
