Citizen-Led Eco-Friendly Festival '2023 Pohang Ricofesta' Held
Flea Market, Zero Waste Popup Store, Eco Experience
Earth Environment Drawing Contest on the 3rd, Awards and Exhibition on the 4th
Pohang City will hold the ‘2023 Pohang Ricofesta’ at Yangdeok Sports Park on the 3rd and 4th.
This ‘Ricofesta’ is a project selected in January by Pohang City in the Gyeongbuk Province Micro-Color (微色, small but colorful) Festival contest. It is Gyeongbuk’s first citizen-led eco-friendly festival combining recycling (RECYCLE) of resource circulation and eco-friendliness (ECO).
At the local market, about 100 citizen sellers will participate in the flea market, and more than 50 local creators (regional entrepreneurs) will join along with zero waste pop-up stores, cultural and artistic eco experience programs, resource circulation exhibitions, and a children’s environmental school, offering a variety of events.
As a special event, an eco-friendly playground with playground designer Pyeon Haemoon, conducted through prior registration, and an Earth environment drawing contest for kindergarteners and lower elementary students (up to 3rd grade) with a first-come, first-served limit of 100 participants starting at 11 a.m. on the 3rd will provide memorable experiences for families and tourists.
Additionally, a small urban concert featuring local artists will be held, including film music and semi-classical performances by Dalbodeure Kids Ensemble, Studio Ghibli OST performances by Lema Ensemble, youth busking (Heo Yujin), singer-songwriter (Jongko), and jazz band (Lee Dongjun).
