[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo transforms into a massive festival ground.

From the 14th to the 16th, Mokpo City will hold the '2022 Mokpo Port Festival' at Mokpo Port and the Samhakdo area, presenting exciting programs such as performances, parades, and parties over three days.

The Mokpo Port Festival, which widely promotes the fading unique maritime culture, will be held this year under the theme 'Autumn Pasi Port with Youth.' Pasi (波市) refers to a temporary fish market formed at the port during fishing seasons and is the core content of the Mokpo Port Festival.

To highlight Mokpo as a port city and the Pasi, the city will host the 'Pasi Market' featuring seafood, the 'Mokpo Port Bumper Harvest Festival' symbolizing a full catch, and the colorful parade 'Ochae Parade' celebrating a bountiful catch.

On the first day of the festival, the 14th, from 5 p.m., the Youth Pasi Parade and a 'Fusion Nanta' performance will elevate the festive atmosphere. Additionally, there will be a Pasi Night Show and a Hello Concert featuring trot singers Kim Hee-jae, Kim Tae-yeon, Seo Ji-o, and Ryu Ji-gwang.

On the 15th, the festival will kick off with the Southwest Region Youth Festival, followed by the Dream High Youth Concert, disco party, night show, and EDM festival.

On the final day, the 16th, the Pasi folk parade, Pasi auction, and a traditional music gathering will take place, culminating with the Sea Concert featuring singers Park Hye-kyung, Coyote, and Ali, marking the grand finale of the festival.
