The purpose of this study was to find what are the effects of festival participant's novelty seeking to involvement intention and satisfaction. A survey design was adopted to collect the required information and a random sampling approach was utilized to select the respondents(N=220) at Namwon herb festival. SEM(Structural equation modeling) was used to examine relationship among novelty seeking, involvement intention, and satisfaction. We found the novelty seeking has a positive effect to the involvement intention(standard regression weight=0.375, t=4.120, p<0.01) and to the satisfaction(standard regression weight =0.440, t=5.096, p<0.01). Also, the involvement intention has a positive effect to the satisfaction(standard regression weight=0.267, t=3.397, p<0.01). The findings lead to an improved understanding of the interrelationship among novelty seeking, involvement intention and satisfaction in the context of festival.
