Mokpo City plans to hold the ‘2023 Mokpo Sunset Drone Light Show’ in May and October at the Bukhang Sunset Park area. The event will feature a large-scale swarm drone show, live concerts, drone experience booths, and various other attractions.

The ‘Sunset Drone Light Show’ signifies ‘Embracing Sunset, Light, and Music’ at Mokpo’s representative tourist site, which preserves the pristine natural environment and the beauty of the sunset.

A city official stated, “Being selected for two consecutive years, we will do our best to enhance tourist satisfaction by creating Mokpo’s representative nighttime tourism content through the synergy effect of the Mokpo Marine W Show and the Drone Light Show.” He added, “In the future, we plan to showcase the event not only in the Bukhang area but also in various zones such as Daebandong and the old downtown, promoting nighttime stay-type tourism products throughout the entire city.”

Additionally, during the 8th elected administration, the city plans to operate various tourism contents that citizens and tourists can enjoy to attract stay-type tourists and revitalize the local economy, securing sustainability rather than one-time events.
