"Jirisan Picnic" is a walking event along the Jirisan Dulle-gil Trail that began in 2011 to foster a culture of introspective walking in Jirisan. The event has rotated among the five cities and counties surrounding Jirisan—Namwon, Hamyang, Sancheong, Hadong, and Gurye—providing a platform to encounter the nature of Jirisan, local culture, and people through walking. The 2026 event will be held in Sancheong, featuring an approximately 12km course starting from Sancheong County Neighborhood Park, passing Seonnyeotang and Hanbat Village, having lunch in Sancheong-eup, and returning to Sancheong County Neighborhood Park via Hwanajeong. Experiential programs and events are organized throughout the walking course, and following the walk, a picnic market and cultural performances will take place at Sancheong County Neighborhood Park. A marketplace featuring food and handicrafts sold by local vendors will be operated concurrently, and participants will receive souvenirs and a 10,000 won Sancheong Love Gift Certificate usable in Sancheong-eup.
