[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will hold the ‘This Year’s Halloween Parade Festival’ on the evening of the 29th at 6 PM around Gwangalli Beach Road in Gwangalli. The pre-event will start from 4 PM.

This festival is being held for the first time this year to wish for the hosting of the 2030 Busan World Expo and will be conducted with the international culture theme of Halloween in celebration of Halloween Day on the 31st.

Busan English Broadcasting Foundation is hosting the event, with support from Busan City, Suyeong District, and Busan Tourism Organization.

The festival consists of various citizen-participation parades including ▲Costume Contest Parade (pre-event) ▲Opening Parade and Special Opening Ceremony ▲Invited Parades from Various Countries ▲Group Contest Parade ▲Citizen Free Parade, and special events such as the ‘Halloween Drone Show,’ the fusion art performance team ‘Sorisoop’s’ ‘Modern Pungnyu’ performance, and the brass band ‘Get All Right’s’ ‘Party Brass’ performance as part of the ‘Halloween Global Citizen Concert.’

This event will be conducted as a festival where citizens actively participate rather than passively watching performances, and on-site there will be cultural shops and various experience events such as face painting for participating citizens.

A city official said, “We hope this event will activate the cultural diversity of ‘Global Busan’ and increase opportunities for Busan citizens and foreigners to enjoy world cultures,” adding, “We hope that through this festival, both domestic and foreign participants will unite in support of hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo.”
