The highlight of the event, the multimedia fireworks show, will brilliantly decorate the Yeosu night sea for 35 minutes from 8 PM in the sea in front of Janggun-do Island.

To ensure smooth event operation, vehicle access will be restricted from 5 PM on the day of the event at Yi Sun-sin Plaza, Jonghwa-dong Intersection, the entrance to the Marine Park, and the entrance to the dried seafood market. Additionally, from 7 PM, vehicles passing through Gyodong Intersection, in front of Yi Sun-sin Plaza, and the Yeosu Police Station section will also be restricted.

However, city buses will be allowed to pass through the restricted sections, and their operating hours will be extended until 11 PM.

Since a large crowd is expected, Yeosu City will conduct real-time situation monitoring and deploy about 500 personnel, including related agencies such as Yeosu Police Station and Yeosu Coast Guard, safety professional services, and volunteer groups, to the event site and major viewing areas to ensure the safety of spectators.

In addition, four temporary restrooms will be installed at the Marine Park and Dolsan Jindu Wharf, and three comprehensive information centers and emergency medical booths will be operated to provide a comfortable and convenient festival experience.

Furthermore, the city is making efforts to prepare traffic measures to minimize inconvenience to spectators caused by traffic restrictions.

First, five free shuttle buses will be operated. The shuttle buses will run from 4 PM to 11 PM on three routes: Expo Site Sky Tower Entrance ↔ Jungang Elementary School, Jinnam Stadium ↔ Jungang Elementary School, and Gukdong Waterfront Park ↔ in front of Rainbow Apartments in Namsan-dong.

Also, about 3,000 vehicles can be accommodated in 19 temporary parking lots near the event site.

Lee Moon-bong, Chairman of the Yeosu Night Sea Fireworks Festival Promotion Committee, said, “We have prepared a unique fireworks show with a story only Yeosu can tell, so we hope you create beautiful memories at the Yeosu night sea.”
