Gyeongnam Goseong Market Hosts 'Retro Festival' with a New Look

Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will hold the ‘Goseong Market Retro Festival’ from the 27th to the 28th at the outdoor stage area of Goseong Market.

This festival is hosted and organized by the Goseong Market Merchants Association and was finally selected as a 2023 resident participation-type festival project.

In particular, the ‘Goseong Market Retro Festival’ will open alongside the 60th anniversary of Goseong Market, making it an even richer festival.

On the 27th, an exhibition and photo zone showcasing the appearance and history of Goseong Market in the 1960s will be set up, and alley leader games filled with old memories such as archery, tuho (arrow throwing), and sabangchigi (a traditional Korean game) will be available for experience.

Additionally, nostalgic snacks like dalgona, cotton candy, and beondegi will be offered, stimulating nostalgia not only for children but also for adults.

On the 28th, performances by local singers and exhibitions on the history of Goseong Market along with photo zones will be held.

Especially to revitalize Goseong Market through the local festival, on-site planned events during the festival period will distribute Onnuri gift certificates that can be used in the market.

Oh Seok, Director of the Culture and Tourism Division, said, “We hope this festival, with experiential games and various programs where families can share memories and enjoy together at the long-standing Goseong Market, will be an event that both local residents and visitors can participate in.”
