Every year at Homigot, during the afternoon of December 31, the sun rises first on the Korean Peninsula. The Humigot Korean Sunrise Festival, held for two days in January from the morning of the New Year, started in 1999 and is still running every year.
The Sunrise Celebration of the Korean People promotes Homigot locally and internationally through various events and other programs different from other sunrise events. Through this effort, 200 million tourists visit Homigot annually and contribute about 20 billion won, significantly improving the local economy.
