To mark the 13th anniversary of the designation of PyeongChang as the host city of the Winter Olympics and the 6th Anniversary of Pyeongchang 2018, large-scale ceremonies and events were held on 6 July 2024.

6 July is the day when Pyeongchang was selected to host the 2018 Winter Olympics at the 123rd IOC session in Durban, South Africa in 2011. Around 3,000 people participated in the event, including former members of the bid committee, former members of the organizing committee, officials from the Winter Sports Federation, and volunteers.

Most of the participants strolled the Olympic Road, the location of the Olympic torch, the Opening & Closing ceremony, and the Olympic Museum. In addition, some special guests enjoyed the Olympic Legacy Tour Program on 27 July 2024.

In his address, Mr. Jae Kook SIM, Mayor of Pyeongchang stated a commitment to furthering the legacy of the Games: “Thank you for participating in the ceremony to remember and celebrate the Pyeongchang Olympics. As the representative of Pyeongchang that held two Olympics (Pyeongchang 2018, Gangwon 2024), I will continue to commemorate the Olympics and carry out legacy projects.” To play the video of the event, click here and to see additional pictures, click here.
