At the Shin Ik Sim In Dang yard, a play area with traditional games such as ttakji (folded paper card) flipping and spinning tops will be set up. Around the main event site and the Dalseong Toseong trail, various experiential events like Ana-bada (a flea market), Clean Hands, food stalls, and an alley tour to visit gardens personally tended by residents will also be operated.

Kim Gi-seok, the organizing committee chairman of the Dalseong Toseong Village Alley Festival, said, “This year’s festival features a much more diverse and rich program than previous years. Especially, the evening event ‘Lighting the Stars of Dalseong Toseong’ has been prepared as an enjoyable participatory program created together by the village residents who have lived alongside the historical value of Dalseong Toseong. We hope many people come to enjoy the festival amid the carefully tended alley gardens.”
