The theme of the festival, Jeotgal (pickled fish), is a fermented food salted with the flesh or eggs of shellfish or fish.

The promotion committee of Ganggyeong Fermented Seafood Festival decided to hold the festival combining online and offline forms, judging that daily recovery from COVID-19 will be possible in October.
