The Chungnam Provincial Office is preparing the Baekje Cultural Festival of 2009 as a preliminary drill for the “Festival of Great Baekje in 2010”, intended to be a global festival. The office is planning to expand the event programs from the past and newly present a water program in Baekma River for this year's festival.
In addition, the cities and guns (counties) within the Baekje boundaries for its history of 700 years including Gongju and Buyeo will participate in the festival with their programs on the subject of Baekje. Thus the festival will be remembered as a festival of two million citizens from all the cities and counties in the province.

The steering committee of the Baekje Cultural Festival has sent out a promotional letter to 9,000 or so elementary and secondary schools all over the nation to stir people's interest in the festival and invite them to the festival. They also posted a video clip that shows dynamic and realistic programs enthusiastically loved by the visitors in 2008 such as the reenactment of the Hwangsanbeol Battle and the cavalcade on the homepage.

A member of the steering committee said, “We had 1.53 million visitors in 2008 and are expecting further interest and responses this year. This year's festival has been prepared as a preliminary drill for the Festival of Great Baekje in 2010 and thus is packed with more spectacular and richer programs, which will surely satisfy the five sense of every visitor.”
The Baekje Cultural Festival of 2009 will be held in and around Gongju and Buyeo from October 9 to 18, 2009.
