The Korea Cultural Center Association announced on the 25th that the Silver Culture Festival will be held from the 27th to 28th at the Culture Square in Yeouido Park, Seoul.

Under the theme "Silver Do It: Connecting Dreams! Connecting Culture! Connecting Generations!", this year's festival will move away from a competition format to spotlight the activities of senior amateur artists and create a cultural and artistic festival space that all generations can enjoy together.

Since its inception in 2015, the 'Silver Culture Festival' has contributed to promoting the proactive cultural activities of the silver generation through competitions involving 2,203 teams and 142,387 participants over eight years.

First, at the 'Shiny Star Hanmadang,' senior groups representing 16 cities and provinces nationwide will showcase diverse performances including dance, fashion shows, theater, and music.

On the 27th, the performances will begin with the opening collaborative intergenerational performance by 'Soriul,' the runner-up team of last year's Silver Culture Festival, and 'Daum,' participants in 'Culture Day, 2023 Youth Microphone.' This will be followed by performances from senior groups from seven regions. Trot singer Kim Suchan will perform a congratulatory stage.

On the 28th, performances by senior groups from six regions and a fan dance performance by 'Yeonche Chumsarang,' the 2022 Silver Culture Festival champion team, will take place. At the 'Cultural Exchange Hanmadang,' over 60 exhibition, experience, and event booths will be operated.

The 'Silver Culture Forum' will also be held. At 3 p.m. on the 27th at Seoul Marina, the forum titled 'Silver Do It! Dreaming of Flower Stalks' will discuss solutions to issues arising as the baby boomer generation transitions into the elderly generation.

A representative from the Korea Cultural Center Association said, "Senior cultural activities, which had been greatly restricted due to COVID-19, are now being actively and diversely carried out starting this year," adding, "We aim to showcase the achievements of the silver generation enjoying a happy and autonomous life through culture in a festival format that all generations can enjoy together."
