Jin Gyo-hoon, Mayor of Gangseo-gu, Seoul, spent time with residents on the 18th at the ‘2024 Ujangsan Green Festa.’ On this day, the Ujangsan Park, dyed in lush green foliage, hosted the ‘Ujangsan Green Festa’ under the theme of ‘A More Enjoyable Eco-Friendly and Kinder Sharing Festival.’ The Ujangsan Green Festa is the second chapter of ‘Sagaksagak Festa,’ an ambitious year-round festival prepared by Gangseo-gu to match the themes of the four seasons.

The main stage of the festival, the Ujangsan soccer field, was crowded with family visitors even before the event began. Despite the hot weather, the flow of visitors continued nonstop, creating a lively atmosphere.

The opening ceremony started at 2 p.m. with a performance where children completed paintings by hand-painting on large coloring papers they had colored. This was followed by a musical gala performance by the Gangseo-gu Municipal Theater Company. A plogging challenge was also held, where participants picked up trash while walking along the Ujangsan Park trail and donated their step counts.

Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon said, “I hope everyone spends a healing time with their families at the ‘Ujangsan Green Festa,’ an eco-friendly festival full of the freshness of nature.”
