Asan Sinjeongho Summer Festival Achieves Success Amid Scorching Heat

Over 17,000 Visitors in 5 Days
Heatwave and Partial Shift to Paid Programs Deemed a 'Success'

The Artvalley San Sinjeongho Summer Festival successfully concluded after attracting over 17,000 visitors over five days.

The Art Valley Asan Sinjeongho Summer Festival concluded successfully, attracting over 17,000 visitors over five days.

On the final day of the festival, the special stage at the Sinjeongho Outdoor Music Hall featured performances by leading Korean rock bands such as Kim Changwan Band and Cherry Filter, marking a spectacular finale.

The city announced that 17,000 visitors attended the festival over the five days. Despite concerns that the unprecedented heat and the transition to a paid event for the rock festival for the first time this year would make it difficult to attract audiences, the festival achieved greater-than-expected success.

Asan City made thorough preparations for the festival held under the scorching heat. Cool Zones, heat shelters, and medical booths were set up to respond to emergencies, along with free mat rentals and the provision of ice water and fans, ensuring the festival concluded without any major safety incidents.

The shuttle bus and parking issues, which had been a point of disappointment during the Yi Sunshin Festival, were also significantly improved.

Every day, six shuttle buses operated between Yi Sunshin Sports Complex, Onyang Oncheon Station, Asan Intercity Bus Terminal, and the festival venue to facilitate the movement of visitors.

Mayor Park Kyunggui said, "Many people from various regions, including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Jeonju, and Chuncheon, visited Asan to enjoy the Sinjeongho Summer Festival despite the heat," and added, "I sincerely thank everyone who worked hard in various places to ensure the safe and successful conclusion of this festival."

Meanwhile, the Art Valley Asan Sinjeongho Summer Festival was held in an 'umbrella-type' format, combining the 3rd Sinjeongho Art Valley Starlight Music Festival and the 3rd Art Valley Asan Rock Festival into a single event.
