Postponed to June 6-7 Due to Forecasted Rain and Gusty Winds

Additionally, a large-scale swarm drone show featuring over 500 drones and cultural and artistic performances were planned to provide citizens with a variety of enjoyable sights.


However, due to forecasts of severe weather including heavy rain, lightning, and strong gusts, the drone show prepared under themes such as Family Month and Jeollanam-do Visit Year was canceled.


Regardless of the drone show cancellation, performances with singers and a fireworks show will proceed.


On the 6th, performances by Iboram (WSG Wannabe), Gilgu Bonggu, DK (December), and Woody will take place, and on Sunday the 7th, Lin and Park Kiyoung will take the stage.


Also, drone experience facilities (VR experience, drone basketball, drone fishing, obstacle racing, 3D pen experience, etc.) and the fireworks show will be available for two days.


A city official stated, “Due to the weather, the event will be postponed by one day from the originally scheduled dates, and the drone show was inevitably canceled due to unfavorable weather conditions. Above all, the safety of citizens is our top priority, so we ask for your understanding.”



Meanwhile, the canceled drone show is planned to be presented again at an appropriate time in the future, with further announcements to follow.
