Miryang Arirang Space Observatory to Host 'Alien Grand Festival' on 12th-13th

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] The ‘2022 Alien Grand Festival,’ hosted and organized by the Gyeongnam Miryang City Facilities Management Corporation, will be held over two days from the 12th to the 13th around the Miryang Arirang Space Observatory.

The ‘Alien Grand Festival’ is the first science and culture event in Korea themed around aliens, featuring a variety of programs across categories such as mystery games, science experiments, alien culture experiences, outdoor play-type games, and special events.

In particular, this year’s festival is the first to be held after two years of repeated reductions and cancellations due to COVID-19, promising great enjoyment for visitors.

The main content of the festival, science experiments, includes various themed experiments such as explosion experiments using cola and hands-on activities like making cannons with air. Beyond science experiments, visitors can enjoy unique alien-themed experiences only available at the ‘Alien Grand Festival,’ such as writing letters in alien language, a giant space board game, and future space wars using RoboMaster.

After the excitement of the festival, the observatory will operate the observation room and planetarium from 6 PM to 10 PM. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a romantic night walk at the ‘Starlight Aurora Plaza,’ where beautiful starlight lighting and music blend harmoniously.

Chief Director Choi Young-tae said, “We have prepared a unique alien festival that cannot be seen anywhere else,” adding, “I hope many people visit Miryang to enjoy the festival and experience the tranquil autumn atmosphere.”
