Seongdong-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jung Won-oh) will hold the '2024 Eungbongsan Sunrise Festival' at the Eungbongsan Octagonal Pavilion at 7 a.m. on the upcoming January 1st.
Seongdong-gu prepared the '2024 Sunrise Festival' to pray for the wishes for the new year and the health and happiness of its residents. This year's sunrise event, held at the Eungbongsan Octagonal Pavilion overlooking the Han River and Seoul Forest, offers a variety of programs to welcome the new year.
The festival will begin with an energetic pungmul troupe parade to start the new year morning vigorously, followed by exchanging New Year's greetings and a traditional drum performance. Additionally, there will be a congratulatory performance by a Korean traditional music band. Especially, to celebrate the Year of the Blue Dragon, there will be an event where participants write their wishes on wish papers and place them into a Yeouiju (dragon pearl), which the Blue Dragon then carries up to the sky.
Prior to the festival, on the 18th, Seongdong-gu held a safety management plan review meeting for the sunrise festival, chaired by the Deputy Mayor, with related organizations including Seongdong Police Station and Seongdong Fire Station. They discussed traffic measures for the narrow uphill paths leading to Eungbongsan and safety measures for large crowds, completing thorough preparations through situation checks.
