“Safe Festival, Environmentally Conscious Festival Guro G Festival!”

Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) is hosting the ‘2023 Guro G Festival.’

Guro-gu announced on the 5th that “Guro G Festival, a representative local festival of Guro, will be held from October 6 to 8 at Anyangcheon Stream and the Ecological Flower Garden,” adding, “This year marks the 20th anniversary, and it has been prepared more abundantly.”

Above all, to create a safe festival, the district conducted first aid and CPR training on the 1st to strengthen the safety management capabilities of event staff.

Also, the food market, which will delight residents’ taste buds, will be directly operated by the local residents’ autonomous committees and private organizations, providing high-quality food at reasonable prices. Notably, reusable containers will be introduced for the first time this year, transforming the festival into an eco-friendly event.

Before the event opens, the Anyangcheon Light Festival will illuminate from the lighting ceremony on October 4 until the 15th. The light festival was first held last year at the Ecological Flower Garden and received great response. This year, it will be expanded into an ‘Emotional Garden’ decorated with artist gardens and light sculptures, and busking performances will add fun from October 6 to 9 and 13 to 14.
