Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 6th that it will hold the region's representative festival, the ‘Anseong Matchum Baudeogi Festival,’ for three days from the 6th to the 9th of next month at Anseong Matchum Land and the Anseongcheon area.

The 'Anseong Matchum Namsadang Baudeogi Festival' has been held since 2001 to honor the artistic spirit of Kim Amdeok, the first female leader of the Namsadang troupe, a wandering entertainer group from the late Joseon Dynasty, and to widely promote its unique culture.

The city has set this year's festival slogan as ‘Heungnan多, Sinnan多, Modu多’ and plans to prepare various programs including the pre-event street parade, performances by the Namsadang percussion troupe and fusion performances, as well as programs involving Anseong artists and civic groups.

Additionally, illuminations will be installed at the event venues, Anseong Matchum Land Waterfront Park and the Anseongcheon area, and the Joseon-era Anseong Market street, agricultural specialty product sales area, and food market will be created.

Furthermore, a talk concert that easily conveys Baudeogi's tradition and history will be held, along with the Baudeogi Cinema operating in the Namsadang indoor performance hall. Shuttle bus services and real-time traffic situation broadcasts via YouTube will also be provided to enhance visitor convenience.

Kim Bora, Mayor of Anseong, said, “This year’s Baudeogi Festival has prepared various programs to strengthen its unique traditional and thematic aspects, while delivering both enjoyment and emotion simultaneously.”
