[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] At the Gwangyang Maehwa Festival, which attracts tens of thousands of tourists every year, this year a busking event will be organized where talent donors can freely showcase their skills and passion, offering visitors fresh and exciting attractions.

According to Gwangyang City in Jeollanam-do on the 6th, from March 6 to 15, the 22nd Gwangyang Maehwa Festival busking event will be held throughout Maehwa Village in Daap-myeon, Gwangyang City, and individuals and groups from various artistic fields who wish to donate their talents are being publicly recruited.

Any artist who wants to express their dreams and passion can participate regardless of age or region. Applicants can download the application form from the announcements section on the Gwangyang City Hall website and submit it by visiting in person, mail, or email by the 31st. Performance photos or video materials must be attached.

The recruitment fields include all cultural and artistic performances such as musical instrument playing, singing, Korean traditional music (gugak), dance, magic, mime, balloon art, performance art, flash mobs, and more.

The busking will take place at the main stage of the Maehwa Festival venue and along the Maehwa Flower Road during the festival period. Performance times will be at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, held on weekdays and Friday to Saturday nights.

Personal equipment and materials will not be supported. However, basic sound equipment at the main stage will be provided, and participants will receive a modest reimbursement for transportation and meal expenses.

The final participants will be announced in early February through the announcements on the Gwangyang City Hall website after a self-assessment, and the detailed schedule and location of performances will be decided in consultation with the festival promotion committee after participant selection.

A festival official said, “We aim to avoid inviting popular singers and instead pursue a citizen and public participation-type festival, creating an open festival full of healing and emotion,” adding, “We look forward to the interest and participation of many talented individuals.”

Meanwhile, under the theme “Healing with Spring Maehwa and Summer Maesil!”, the Gwangyang Maehwa Festival, which will open the curtain on Korea’s festivals, plans to transform the entire festival area into a rest and healing emotional theme road and enhance program completeness to create a young and emotionally rich small but certain happiness festival that satisfies all five senses.
