Gwangalli Eobang Festival

About the Festival

The Suyeong region has long been rich in fishery resources and was the first area in Busan to develop fishing. In particular, with the establishment of Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong (Left Naval Base of Gyeongsang Province) during the Joseon Dynasty, 'Eobang,' a cooperative community of fishermen and naval forces, was established. The fishing process carried out at that time was organized into a play, which is preserved and passed down as 'Jwasuyeong Eobang Nori.' The Gwangalli Eobang Festival uses 'Eobang' as its festival name to continue this tradition and is a representative festival of Busan, themed around the folklore of Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong and traditional fishing villages.
