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).



Park Sangjin, Director of the Convention and Tourism Industry Division, said, “Ricofesta is a new-concept festival that perfectly combines eco-friendly resource circulation, good consumption regional circulation, and regional economic vitality circulation. We hope many citizens and tourists will show interest and participate over the weekend.”
