Yangdong Tongmaek Festival

About the Festival

The Yangdong Tongmaek Festival, held for the third time this year at Yangdong Traditional Market, Honam's largest traditional market, aims to build infrastructure for a sustainable market through food and entertainment programs, and secure K-content reflecting the characteristics of each market through market-led, citizen-participatory diverse program development. The Yangdong Tongmaek Festival, which means "connecting with Yangdong through taste, style, and excitement," is a festival brand that combines "tong (通)" from traditional market and "maek (脈)" connecting 115 years of history, meaning "connecting with Yangdong." In line with its reputation as "Yangdong that you want to revisit," it brands the Yangdong Traditional Market and establishes itself as a K-traditional market festival that encompasses all generations through its killer content of 1,000-won beer. By responding to individual tastes with generous market hospitality and delicious food, it presents Yangdong Traditional Market as a new and flexible travel destination, and dreams of emotional exchange and repeat visits between the market and visitors with the slogan, "Yangdong Tongmaek, You and I connected!" The 3rd Yangdong Tongmaek Festival showcases a variety of market foods, band performances represented by the CHEERS STAGE, Dance in the Market and Yangdong EDM for enjoying an escape from the market, a surprise auction faithful to the essence of the market, and various sights, foods, and entertainment such as Toktok Block and aquarium candle making for family tourists.
