Gwangju Dong-gu Hosts "Chungjang-ro Goblin Market" with Cultural Performances and Flea Market
Linked with the Car-Free Street Event on Geumnam-ro on June 6
Flea Market, Onnuri Gift Certificate Payback, and More
Gwangju Dong-gu will host the "Chungjang-ro Goblin Market," a citizen-participatory street festival featuring a flea market, Onnuri gift certificate payback, and cultural performances in the Chungjang-ro 4~5-ga area. The event aims to revitalize the local commercial district and stimulate consumption.
According to Dong-gu, Gwangju on June 2, this event has been organized to boost the Chungjang commercial area and promote local consumption. In conjunction with the Car-Free Street event to be held on Geumnam-ro on June 6, the festival will take place from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. around the former Chohung Bank intersection.
The event venue will feature 20 booths for the self-participation flea market operated by Chungjang merchants, two food booths, one thrift market booth, and three food trucks, offering a variety of food, experiences, and attractions.
In particular, a payback event using Onnuri gift certificates will be held on the day of the festival at shops throughout Chungjang-ro. Dong-gu intends to encourage on-site spending by visitors and maximize the effect of increasing sales for local businesses through this initiative.
A joint discount sale will also take place, with merchants from Chungjang-ro 4·5-ga participating. Representative stores on Chungjang-ro such as Notre Dame, A&T, Green Art, Donga Silk, Munk, and Turtle Glasses will offer a wide range of products at special discounted prices.
A variety of cultural performances are also scheduled. The festival will open with a violin performance by Kang Myeongjin, followed by an acoustic guitar and vocal performance by Jang Soyoung, a beatbox and vocal stage by GB Busking, a popera performance by Cross For Men, and a flute recital by Nari. The final program of the event will be a fire art show by Kkaebi Magic, providing a unique spectacle for visitors.
Through the "Chungjang-ro Goblin Market," Dong-gu seeks to create a stay-type street culture where citizens naturally visit and spend time in Chungjang-ro, while also supporting on-site consumption that translates directly into increased sales for local businesses.
Ju Seungil, president of the Chungjang-ro Merchants Association, said, "We will continue to expand consumption-promotion events and stay-type content with direct participation from merchants, making Chungjang-ro a commercial district that people want to visit again."
