Jeonju City to Host 'Jeonju August Christmas' Event from 23rd to 29th

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City announced on the 20th that it will hold the 'Jeonju August Christmas' event from the 23rd to the 29th at Cheotmajung-gil in front of Jeonju Station and the Gyeonggijeon area of Jeonju Hanok Village.

This event was prepared to allow citizens, exhausted from the aftermath of COVID-19, to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere on a midsummer night while remembering last year's Christmas that passed by regrettably.

Under the subtitle 'Our Lost Christmas (LOST CHRISTMAS)', the event features △ Jeonju Hanok Village August Christmas Garden △ Jeonju Station Cheotmajung-gil Luminarie △ Santa Claus non-face-to-face crosswalk performance △ Christmas experience in the metaverse (virtual space).

In the flower garden in front of Gyeonggijeon in Jeonju Hanok Village, Christmas atmosphere is created with poinsettias, called 'Christmas flowers', Christmas trees, and various sculptures.

At Cheotmajung-gil in front of Jeonju Station, a 20-meter-long Christmas luminarie lights up the night sky until 10 p.m.

Also, at the crosswalk between Cheotmajung-gil and Jeonju Station, local artists dressed as Santa Claus perform a Christmas non-face-to-face show.

Jeonju City, which canceled most face-to-face events due to COVID-19, has specially prepared a virtual space within Naver Z's Zepeto for the MZ generation. In the latter part of the event, Taejoro in front of Gyeonggijeon and Cheotmajung-gil in front of Jeonju Station will be recreated as virtual spaces.
