Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) will operate the ‘Guro Hanmadang Market’ at the district office plaza for two days from the 21st to the 22nd in celebration of Chuseok.

The district announced that it will run the Chuseok Hanmadang Market to provide a place for direct transactions between urban and rural areas, offering local specialties at affordable prices to residents while helping farmers increase their income by expanding sales channels.

This event will feature 29 local governments, including Goe-san-gun, Dan-yang-gun, Yecheon-gun, Namwon-si, Gu-rye-gun, Yeong-wol-gun, and Dang-jin-si, which have sisterhood and friendship ties with Guro-gu, along with 52 farms selling over 50 items such as Korean beef, dried yellow corvina, traditional Korean sweets, apples and pears, dried persimmons, and various gift sets.

In particular, for the first time, the Hanmadang Market will operate an on-site parcel service in cooperation with Guro Post Office for residents’ convenience. Products purchased at the direct transaction market can be immediately packed and shipped at the post office parcel reception booth.

Additionally, to revitalize traditional markets before the Chuseok holiday, the district will hold the Jangteo Dal-gumi event. District Mayor Moon Heon-il and about 200 staff members will visit traditional markets to encourage market merchants and customers and do their shopping.

Moreover, a traditional market event for Chuseok has been prepared to ease residents’ household burdens.

Five traditional markets (▲Guro Market ▲Namguro Market ▲Garibong Market ▲Gocheok Neighborhood Market ▲Gocheok Alley Market Shopping District) and two alley-type shopping districts (▲Gaebong Central Alley Shopping District ▲Oryu Beodeul Market Shopping District) will participate, offering discounts on ritual items and holding prize ticket lotteries and other events.
