Busan City, together with the Korea Tourism Organization (President Kim Jang-sil), Busan Tourism Organization (President Lee Jeong-sil), and the Night Tourism Specialized City Council, will hold the ‘Starry Sea Busan Candlelight Concert’ at 6 p.m. on the 28th at APEC Naru Park.

The seven cities in the Night Tourism Specialized City Council are Busan, Incheon, Daejeon, Gangneung, Jeonju, Jinju, and Tongyeong.

The ‘Candlelight Concert’ is a classical performance held in over 100 cities worldwide, with more than 3 million attendees, recognized as a popular nighttime event globally. This will be the first time it is held outdoors in Busan.

This concert is part of the ‘2023 Korea Night Night Candlelight Touring Concert’ (10.14.~11.11.), which tours the seven cities selected as Night Tourism Specialized Cities.

The performance is free of charge and can be attended without a separate ticket. For 65 minutes, familiar music will be played to delight the eyes and ears of the audience.

Jung Da-hyun (piano) and the Risus Quartet (string quartet) will perform ▲ Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.1 & No.2 ▲ Judy Garland’s Somewhere Over The Rainbow, among others.

Admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis starting 30 minutes before the concert, and cushions, blankets, and hot packs will be provided to prepare for the chilly weather.

At APEC Naru Park, following the fresh nighttime events of Baby Shark Night Playground and Riverside DJing Party last summer, the ‘Starry Sea Busan Candlelight (10.28.)’ and ‘K-Music Season Good Night Concert in Busan (11.2)’ will be held, while the Busan Cinema Center will host the ‘2023 Skate Night Busan (11.11.)’, continuing the ‘Starry Sea Busan’ nighttime experience.

Detailed event information can be found on the Instagram channel dedicated to night tourism.

Park Geun-rok, Director of the Tourism MICE Bureau, said, “The autumn nights in Busan will offer a charm different from summer,” adding, “We will provide visitors from home and abroad with a ‘Starry Sea Busan’ night that will be specially remembered no matter how many times they visit.”

Since last year, Busan City has been promoting various nighttime tourism programs through its international tourism city project. According to the ‘2022 Night Tourism Status Survey Report’ recently released by the Korea Tourism Organization, Busan proudly ranked first nationwide. This year, it was selected for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s public project ‘Night Tourism Specialized City Development Project (International Competition Type),’ receiving national funding for four years, advancing as a world-class night tourism city.
