The Myeongnyang Victory Festival is a patriotic historical and cultural festival commemorating the Battle of Myeongnyang, an unprecedented naval battle in world history in which Admiral Yi Sun-sin, reappointed as Commander of the Three Provinces Naval Forces (Samdo Sugun Tongjesa), along with the Joseon navy and fishermen from Jeolla-do, defeated the Japanese fleet at Uldolmok on September 16, 1597. Co-hosted annually since 2008 by South Jeolla Province, Jindo County, and Haenam County, this representative regional historical and cultural festival features a modern reenactment of the Battle of Myeongnyang through an ICT-converged multimedia naval battle, along with a maritime parade, a departure parade, and various local performances. In addition, landscape lighting is installed throughout the festival grounds, and programs for experiencing history and culture are offered, giving visitors the opportunity to directly experience the historical site of the Myeongnyang Victory. Through this, the festival aims to widely promote the historical value of the Myeongnyang Victory and the spirit of patriotic defense, while also introducing the historical, cultural, and tourism resources of Jindo and Haenam.
