Geumcheon-gu is implementing various community-focused initiatives. The district is transitioning the Geumcheon Harmony Festival into a resident-led event through the ‘2026 Geumcheon Harmony Festival Resident-Participatory Organizing Committee’. This committee, comprising residents, experts, and media advisors, will oversee cultural planning, performances, and exhibitions to strengthen the festival’s identity.

Additionally, the district has opened nominations for its ‘2026 Geumcheon-gu Honorary Resident’ program. Running until September 18, the program seeks to honor individuals—both local and foreign—who have contributed to the region’s economic, educational, or cultural development. Selected recipients will be awarded during the 2026 Residents' Day ceremony.
