The Damyang County Cultural Foundation (Chairman Lee Byeong-no, hereinafter referred to as the Foundation) announced on the 29th that the '2024 Damyang Bamboo Hideout Festival,' held over two days from the 26th to the 27th around the Damyang History and Culture Park, was successfully concluded.

This festival was an interactive cultural arts education program utilizing the region's representative cultural resource, 'bamboo,' and received great response with about 200 participants including families and elementary and middle school students nationwide.

Starting with a preliminary workshop on the 19th, participants enhanced their enjoyment through collaborative work with 10 artists, including local masters, by touching and feeling bamboo, emphasizing the importance of cooperation and artistic achievement. In particular, the program was highly praised for using bamboo from the bamboo grove Juknokwon as the main material, creating a distinctive local cultural program.

The 'Bamboo Hideout Rounding' presented by young artists was also impressive. The 10 bamboo hideouts, each with a different concept, included a snail house hideout built around a single tree, an igloo made of bamboo, and a jukbangnyeom-sized soccer field where people could play together, providing joy and fun to viewers.

A Foundation official said, “This year’s Damyang Bamboo Hideout Festival offered differentiated programs and received positive evaluations from participants,” adding, “We will continue to prepare diverse and unique local cultural arts programs that residents and tourists can enjoy together.”
