A special flea market that embodies the unique characteristics of the region and the value of urban regeneration, "Come Visit, Samhwa Saturday Market," will be held every Saturday from September 27 to November 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Centered around urban regeneration hub facilities within the Samhwa District, this market is a project aimed at transforming the area into a place where people want to stay.

Samhwa District serves as a gateway to major tourist attractions such as Mureung Valley and Mureung Byeolyucheonji, and this event will feature a variety of programs designed for both local residents and visitors to enjoy together.

In particular, the event focuses on revitalizing the Samhwa Market and establishing a local circular economy structure.

The Samhwa Saturday Market is divided into five zones: Food Zone, Market Zone, Experience Zone, Healing Zone, and Event Zone, and is organized primarily by residents of the Samhwa District.

Visitors can purchase a variety of products such as agricultural goods, succulents, and handicrafts, or taste local specialties like lavender beverages and gondre rice balls.

Additionally, unique experience programs such as "Lavender Makgeolli Tasting," "Planting Companion Plants," and AI-powered image transformation activities will add to the excitement.

Jung Hayoun, head of the Urban Maintenance Division, stated, "The Samhwa Saturday Market is more than just a place to buy and sell goods; it is focused on transforming the Samhwa District into a space where people want to stay. The core of this event is to promote the area's appeal and establish a foundation for sustainable commercial revitalization by encouraging active participation from Samhwa-dong residents and local community organizations."
