This event is part of the 2025 Cultural Autonomy Promotion Project. Since June, a total of 31 local cultural personnel, including the Citizen Planning Group and Culture Connectors, have participated in everything from planning to operation, making this a resident-led festival.


With the theme 'Adding Art to Everyday Life,' the market will feature a variety of programs such as exhibitions, performances, hands-on experiences, and achievement-sharing sessions, allowing citizens to enjoy the pleasures of art in their daily lives.


In the exhibition section, citizens and local artists will showcase a variety of works, including ceramics, calligraphy, and glass art. The performance stage will offer a rich lineup, including band performances, poetry recitations, plays, and the Yangju Byeolsandae Nori traditional mask dance.


Additionally, there will be interactive booths for families to enjoy, such as keyring making, gardening, coffee and soap making, and traditional games experiences. A stamp tour event for visitors will also be held.


In particular, starting at 3:00 p.m., the achievement-sharing program will look back on this year's project results, present awards to outstanding participants, and feature a vision-sharing talk concert.


A Yangju City official stated, "This lifestyle and culture market is a meaningful event that demonstrates the achievements of Yangju-style cultural autonomy, as it is a festival planned and participated in directly by citizens," adding, "We will continue to expand various opportunities for citizen participation so that citizens can grow as the main agents of culture."



'2025 Everyone's Lifestyle and Culture Market' is open to everyone free of charge. Detailed schedules and programs can be found on the Yangju City Hall website.
