The opening ceremony of the "Gangdong Prehistoric Culture Festival," held at 7:30 PM on the 13th at the main stage within the event site, is expected to captivate the audience with the beautiful melodies and splendid performance of the Gangdong Philharmonic Orchestra, fitting the theme "Prehistory: Doing." Following the opening ceremony, the celebratory performances will feature ▲legendary soul diva "Insooni" ▲emotional soul balladeer "V.O.S" ▲fresh and lively idol group "Signature," elevating the atmosphere and marking the official start of the festival.


On the second day, the 14th, visitors will be greeted with various attractions and entertainment, including ▲unique street art performances that catch the eye ▲the Gangdong Prehistoric Singing Contest, where Gangdong residents can freely showcase their hidden talents.


On the final day of the festival, the 15th, the closing celebration will begin at 8:20 PM. On the main stage, ▲the legendary Korean rock band "Boohwal" ▲the three-member vocal performance group "Ulala Session" ▲Mister Trot contestant "Seo Ji-o" will deliver passionate performances, followed by a fireworks show that will brilliantly conclude the Gangdong Prehistoric Culture Festival.


The most anticipated event of this festival, the "Prehistoric Scavenger Hunt," is a family-participation experiential program where participants solve secrets by following a mission map, offering children an exciting adventure time. Additionally, programs such as ▲Prehistoric Silent Yoga ▲Primitive Eating Habits ▲Neolithic Archaeology Experience School ▲Neolithic Primitive Performance ▲Rest (休) Time and various other contents that anyone in the family can participate in throughout the festival will provide a unique experience as if traveling back in time.


Visitors can also enjoy healing and relaxation time at "Bittonchide Park," themed around the four elements of comb-pattern pottery: water, fire, earth, and wind. The park offers diverse experiential programs including ▲a water mist forest path themed on "water" ▲bushcraft experience themed on "fire" ▲walking on a loess path themed on "earth" ▲wind art exhibition themed on "wind," along with mysterious sculptures, creating a space where visitors can rest without boredom. Food booths and food trucks will also be operated to allow visitors to stay longer and enjoy various festival delights.


A promotional booth called "Somang Irumteo" will hold resident participation events to decide the name of the Goduk Bridge (tentative name). Since the Han River bridge construction connecting Gangdong-gu and Guri-si has passed through the downtown area of the district and lasted for over seven years, causing severe inconvenience and damage to residents, the district is making an all-out effort to gather residents' wishes so that the name of the area (Goduk-dong) can be reflected in the bridge's name.


Lee Soo-hee, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, "In the cool autumn, we will offer a special experience traveling back 6,000 years to prehistoric times," and added, "We hope families come to the Gangdong Prehistoric Culture Festival, where historical value and stories come alive, to fully experience the charm of Gangdong-gu."


During the festival, vehicles will be completely restricted from the section between Seonsa Elementary School and Seowon Village. However, one-way traffic will be implemented on some sections from Seowon Village along Olympic-ro 108-gil. Accordingly, the Gangdong 02 village bus route operating in this section will be rerouted. Temporary vehicles will be operated from Seonsa Elementary School to Seowon Village for residents living nearby.



Parking is available at temporary parking lots set up at Seonsa Elementary School, Seonsa High School, and Sinam Middle School. For more detailed information regarding parking and traffic, inquiries can be made at the nine traffic control posts installed around the festival site.
