It aims at developing musical theater into an industry through which the beauty and joy of the arts can be appreciated by both international citizens and local residents. In pursuit of this dream, DIMF has made every effort to encourage domestically created musicals, nurture the upcoming musical generation, and reach new audiences.<br />
<br />
DIMF, despite being a relatively new cultural event of Daegu, has firmly established itself as a veritable marketplace where producers and directors can exchange ideas and experience a variety of new and diverse musical interpretations. DIMF is not only a stage for the performing arts, but also continues to develop in its role as a delightfully inspiring means of entertainment and recreation. <br />
<br />
In partnership with NYMF (New York Musical Festival), DIMF has taken a big leap into the world musical industry and continues to flourish as Asia’s musical Mecca. <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Once a year in Jindo in Jeollanam-do province, the seas mysteriously part just like Moses’ miracle and visitors can walk through the sea from the mainland to a nearby island. This phenomenon is caused due to the difference in high tides and low tides, which creates a 2.8-kilometer-long road measuring 40 to 60 meters in width. The Jindo Sea-parting Festival takes place at the same time as this phenomenon. Visitors can enjoy walking along the sea road, gathering abalone and various other fun activities that make up the festival program. The spectacular sight of the waves parting is widely known and many people travel to Korea from all over the world, especially to witness it. </span><br />

</div>The Jeju Jeongwol Daeboreum Fire Festival has kept alive the culture of Jeju cattle breeding, bringing it up to date for the current lifestyle. <br />
<br />
On the Full Moon Day, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month of the year, the Jeongwol Daeboreum Fire Festival is held in order to pray for a healthy year and good fortune. Visitors to the festival can experience the traditional lifestyle and practices of Korea’s farmers. Long ago Jeju farmers would set fire to their fields, so that the harmful bugs would be chased away, and their cows could then eat the grass. In this festival this practice is revived, and visitors get to experience setting pheasants free, traditional wedding ceremonies, and much more. <br />
<br />
<br />
This fire setting is called "Deulbul-noki” (‘setting a fire to the field,’ Bangae). The Jeongwol Daeboreum Deulbul Festival has developed the old customs of Jeju to fit to the modern lifestyle. <br />

<br />
The Hwacheon Sancheoneo (Mountain Trout) Ice Festival annually takes place in Hwacheon in Gangwon province. This virtually untouched region is known as the first area in Korea that freezes over in winter, and the river is covered with a thick layer of ice. <br />
<br />
<br />
Visitors can try out ice fishing, and those who are feeling brave can try to catch mountain trout with their bare hands. As well as fun activities and performances, there is also an exhibition of ice sculptures that took 20 weeks to prepare. Visitors can sample raw and grilled mountain trout, both of which are delicious.<br />
