Choose your own wedding dress, look closely at the ring, and draw a day when you look cooler than anyone else.

In another booth right next door, bracken hands making pretty ornaments are in full swing.

It is a festival called "Family Festa," which brings together the entire process of forming a family, from marriage to childbirth to parenting and education.

[Choi Jung-min / Yongheung-dong, Pohang-si, North Gyeongsang-do: I searched many places to make memories with my baby, and I got to know this event here in Mandang thanks to my friend's recommendation. It's good to have a lot to see and a lot of baby memories.]

It was held in Pohang for the second time in the country after attracting 20,000 visitors in Daegu last September.

It is a place where the local community, which is the party to the local extinction and low birth rate problems, directly contemplates solutions and improves awareness of families.

[Choi Jin-soo / Head of the Gyeongbuk Division of Nonghyup: Overcoming low birth rate and local extinction is recognized as an important task facing our society. Our National Agricultural Cooperative Federation will also do its best to create a sustainable future in cooperation with the local community.]

Sixty companies will set up 100 booths to receive one-on-one expert advice in all fields.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family participated directly, and local governments also set up booths to announce various support policies one by one.

[Lee Kang-deok / Mayor of Pohang, Gyeongbuk: Our goal is to provide more policies and information related to childcare to our young people to make it a good city to raise children.]

Various events such as various experiences, magic shows, and performances were also held for Christmas family visitors.

Hosted by North Gyeongsang Province and Pohang City, and organized by YTN, Family Festa will be held until 6 p.m. today.
