Welcome to the 22nd Dalian International Walking Festival!
  The Dalian Walking Association, established in 1989, is a social organization affiliated with the Dalian Sports Bureau. The association aims to promote walking as a beneficial and healthy leisure activity, encourage participation in walking events through incentive reward programs, and enhance international understanding and friendship. The association promotes international multi-day non-competitive walking activities in member countries to achieve this goal. The Dalian International Walking Festival was first held in 2003, and Dalian officially became a member of the International Marching League (IML) at the general meeting held in the United States in 2006. So far, the number of participants in the walking festival has exceeded 200,000 every year.
  The 22nd Dalian International Walking Festival will be held on May 18th and 19th, 2024 at Xinghai Square. This walking festival will have one main venue and nine sub-venues, marking the first time that the Dalian-wide walking festival has been held.
  The opening ceremony of the festival will be held at 8:00 am on May 18th at the entrance of Dalian Museum in Xinghai Square. We welcome friends from all over the world, and we look forward to meeting you in Dalian!
