[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] The area around Dongoe Plaza in Goseong-eup, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam, has been brightly illuminated with beautiful Christmas light decorations.

The Goseong Street Light Festival, hosted by the Goseong Christian Association and organized by the Goseong Christmas Cultural Festival Committee, opened its splendid curtain of lights on November 30.

The opening ceremony was attended by County Governor Lee Sang-geun, Provincial Assemblyman Baek Su-myeong, Vice Chairman of the Goseong County Council Kim Hyang-suk, along with county council members, officials from various organizations, and many residents who gathered to see the Christmas tree lighting, brightening the event.

At 5:30 PM that day, following a spectacular pre-ceremony performance by the Yongho Taekwondo Team, a lighting worship service was held, led by Pastor Bae Dong-su, president of the Goseong Christian Association, and the chilly winter night was heated up by a congratulatory performance from the Busan Professor Mission Praise Team.

Additionally, the festival host, the Goseong Christian Association, added warmth by donating 107 bags of love rice (10 kg each), worth approximately 5 million won, to neighbors in need around the area in celebration of the festival opening.

As night fell and the lighting ceremony began, the streets of Goseong-eup were adorned with sculptures shining like stars in the night sky, and the main decoration of the festival, the Christmas tree, captivated the eyes of the residents.

Residents who came to enjoy the festival took photos in small groups against the sparkling sculptures. The carols echoing through the streets heightened the year-end atmosphere.

This festival will continue until January 28, 2023, offering various events and activities to provide diverse enjoyment for visitors.

The scheduled events include ▲saxophone concerts ▲Christmas art exhibition by painter Ahn Sun-ok ▲street busking and night of sharing the wish tree ▲youth Christmas carol dance contest ▲year-end night with Goseong residents, among others, preparing to decorate the end of this year with various events.

Governor Lee said, “I hope the Goseong Street Light Festival, the representative winter festival of Goseong, can comfort the hearts of residents who have been gloomy due to COVID-19. I wish everyone a warm year-end sharing love with family and neighbors.”
