After the brief opening ceremony, participants are supposed to take a 6-kilometer walk, passing Daegaya History Theme Park and Daegaya Education Center and Mosangol along the Royal Tomb Road before returning to the event venue, while relishing the flavor of the deepening autumn and having a good time of looking around Daegaya's ancient tombs that are emerging as the global cultural icon and the mountain fortress.

- Flower Festival
- Tens of thousands of cosmos are in full bloom near Hoecheon Stream, Daegaya-eup, Goryeong-gun, every year. Colorful cosmoses, which beat this summer's heat and blossomed, are beautiful enough to let passers-by feel the flavor of autumn. Cosmos is the protagonist of this year's "Flower Festival" that Goryeong-gun prepared.
Hoecheon Stream, the festival venue, is also called "Modeumnae" as Daegacheon Stream and Anrimcheon Stream originating from Gayasan Mountain converge, and near Hoecheon Stream are the 5.4-kilometer bicycle lane and walk trail created in 2012.
