[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The ‘Pohang International Fireworks Festival’ is coming back to life. The lights that were extinguished last year due to COVID-19 will shine over the East Sea this year.

Pohang City in Gyeongbuk invites citizens to join the opening ceremony of the ‘Fireworks Festival.’

Pohang City will accept reservations on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 2 p.m. on the 10th through the Pohang Cultural Foundation and Pohang City websites for citizens wishing to participate in the opening ceremony of the ‘2021 Pohang International Fireworks Festival.’

The festival, held over two days on the 20th and 21st at Yeongildae Beach, will kick off with the opening event at 6 p.m. on the 20th.

Pohang City will launch over 300 drones and fireworks into the sky, conveying messages of comfort, hope, and vision.

New performances such as the ‘Drone Fireworks Show (10 minutes)’ and the ‘Mini Hope Fireworks Show (10 minutes)’ will be presented.

This year’s opening ceremony will invite 499 citizens who have completed their second COVID-19 vaccination through prior reservation, in accordance with the With-Corona guidelines.

The prior reservation serves as a viewing ‘ticket’ for entry to the opening ceremony venue.

Over the two days, attendees can enjoy the drone fireworks show, mini hope fireworks show, 14 light-themed zones created in a Luminate format, and the Fireworks Market selling agricultural, marine products, and handicrafts around Yeongildae Beach.

Additionally, the festival can be freely enjoyed online via the metaverse and YouTube.

Other side events will be held both online and offline, including the PangPang opening celebration performance, Black Eagles show, light illumination show, metaverse live tour, Pohang Port Insider Challenge, and Fireworks Radio.

Last year’s Pohang International Fireworks Festival was canceled to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but this year, instead of the traditional international fireworks show, it will be held under the theme ‘Turn ON the Light for Me! Sending the Light of Hope from Pohang!’ to mark the beginning of daily life recovery with hope.
