Centered around Boryeong's mineral-rich coastal mud, the festival is famous for encouraging active participation rather than passive observation.

- The Mud Cask Zone: A newly introduced area at Mud Plaza offering a laid-back beachside experience, seamlessly blending self-guided mud activities with music and panoramic ocean views.
- Beauty and Wellness: Visitors can also explore Boryeong's local products, mud cosmetics, food zones, and cultural experience areas throughout the grounds.
