On the final day of the festival, September 28, a "Healing Concert" will be held at 5:00 p.m., bringing the atmosphere to its peak. The evening will feature a diverse lineup, including Gyeonggi folk songs and Nanta performances by local community clubs, a singing contest with ten teams who advanced through the preliminaries, as well as K-pop and trot celebratory performances, creating a warm and vibrant autumn night.


In the market alleys, a food court will offer a variety of dishes, and a flea market will showcase unique products. Additionally, next to the Saemaeul Geumgo building, customers who spend over 50,000 won will receive a 10,000-won Onnuri gift certificate, while supplies last.


Located at the crossroads between Yaksu Station and the Namsan Footpath, Yaksu Market has long served as a traditional marketplace for local residents. Recently, it has gained popularity as a "must-visit food spot" for younger generations and a filming location for YouTube, making it a beloved "hot place" that exudes a warm, nostalgic charm.



Kim Gilseong, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "I hope you will enjoy the autumn atmosphere and the 'Healing Night' at Yaksu Market, where delicious food and a warm community spirit abound," adding, "We expect this festival to bring renewed vitality to the local business district and create joyful memories for all visitors."
