Also, as the festival finale, a spectacular fireworks display will decorate the night sky over the beach, offering tourists visiting Gijang the romance and memories of a midsummer night by the sea.

A representative of the Ilgwang Romantic Song Festival Organizing Committee said, “We hope that not only local residents but also many tourists visiting Gijang will take home the romance and memories of a midsummer night by the sea, just like the name of the song festival.”
