Gyeongju Geumridan-gil Hosts 'Bulgeum Praise Night Market' Every Weekend

Full of Food and Fun Activities

Gyeongju City will reopen the ‘Bulgeum Yechan Night Market,’ which gained great popularity during its one-month opening last October, to revitalize the old downtown area.

According to the Gyeongju Central Commercial District Renaissance Project Promotion Team on the 24th, the very special night market full of food, sights, and entertainment, ‘Bulgeum Yechan Night Market,’ will officially open from the 26th in the Geumridan-gil (central shopping district) area.

Night market held last October in the central shopping district of Gyeongju.

The ‘Bulgeum Yechan Night Market’ will be held for six months from its first opening on Friday the 26th until October 28.

In May, August, and October, the night market will be open every Friday and Saturday, while in June and September, it will be open every Friday from 6 PM to 11 PM.

Notably, this year’s ‘Bulgeum Yechan Night Market’ has significantly improved on areas that were lacking last year.

First, the section where the night market is held has been expanded to include Jungang-ro 34beon-gil, which connects the Starbucks to LG Uplus section on Wonhyo-ro 105beon-gil and extends to KB Kookmin Bank.

Additionally, a space has been created where visitors can comfortably sit and enjoy draft beer and food.

Moreover, the variety of sellers and products has been diversified.

This year, the number of food and flea market booths has been greatly increased, offering a rich menu including grilled scallop cheese, okonomiyaki, yukjeon (pan-fried beef), fried meat, chicken skewers, rice bread, seasoned chicken feet, and more. Various accessories will also be sold, and a tarot caf? will be introduced to add a unique element of fun.

Especially on the opening day, the 26th, exciting performances, balloon giveaways, and prize events will be held in collaboration with the ‘Street Art Week.’

In addition, ‘Street Art Week,’ which has been ongoing since the 12th, will be linked with various genres of performances such as busking and K-pop dance to provide a diverse range of entertainment.

Mayor Joo Nak-young stated, “Along with the solid progress of the second year of the Central Commercial District Renaissance Project, environmental improvement projects are also being carried out without neglect,” and emphasized, “Gyeongju City will focus its administrative efforts on creating a vibrant central commercial district that attracts tourists, in line with the free opening of Daereungwon this year.”
