Everland, operated by Samsung C&T Resort Group, announced on July 2 that it will launch the special "Village Vacation Night Stroll" event throughout July and August to coincide with the start of the full summer vacation and holiday season.

This event, part of Everland's monthly curation project "Whatever Series," is themed for summer. During the daytime, visitors can enjoy a nostalgic countryside atmosphere, while at night they can experience the excitement of night markets from around the world—making for a unique summer getaway all in one day.

First, throughout July, a special promotion is available: visitors who come dressed in retro-style “Village Vacation” pants featuring floral or polka dot patterns can enter Everland for just KRW 25,000, a discount of more than 50%. In addition, they will receive priority access to "Louie & Hui’s Village Vacation" themed experience zone, which opens on the 4th.

In the Village Vacation theme zone located within the Festival Content Zone, guests can follow the story of twin pandas Louibao and Huibao as they embark on a healing trip to the countryside, enjoying a variety of themed content along the way.

The village hall at the entrance of the theme zone is decorated to evoke the warmth of a traditional countryside home, welcoming visitors. There is also a photo spot featuring images of watermelon, the quintessential summer fruit, alongside Louibao and Huibao, adding a seasonal touch for memorable snapshots.

In the backyard, guests can relax for a while or enjoy board games, experiencing the leisurely pace of rural village life.

There are also exciting missions designed to help guests forget the summer heat. Those who complete all the missions and collect every stamp can receive a limited-edition Bao Village Honorary Resident Certificate, available in restricted quantities each day.

For example, in the spooky “Ghost Train” experience area, guests must complete missions within a set time. The “Fun Farm” offers a ball-cannon shooting game where participants aim at sparrow dolls, providing enjoyable activities suitable for all ages.

At Baoshop, which is designed to look just like a classic rural general store, visitors can find limited-edition goods from “Louie & Hui’s Korea Travels.” As part of the project’s storyline, the twin pandas travel across the country before heading to China, with Jeolla Province selected as their first stop. Over 30 new summer Village Vacation–themed goods from Jeolla Province are also available at the Grand Emporium and Panda World Shop.

Holland Village, with its European open-air café vibe, will transform into a global night market starting from July 3, where visitors can sample street foods from around the world.

Under the theme “A Culinary Journey Around the World Without a Passport,” the night market held every evening features a variety of global street foods—including Korean favorites like fried chili from Mangwon Market and fire chicken omelet popular on social media, as well as American-style pizza, barbecue platters, chili and cream shrimp, yaki soba, and more. These dishes can be paired with international beers for a complete experience.

There will also be special photo opportunities with “Bagel,” the walking character from Lenny & Friends, who appears as the night market’s main chef. On a small stage, DJ performances will further energize the festive summer nights.

Notably, near Holland Village, where the night market is held, Everland’s signature evening entertainment will take place, including the dazzling “Moonlight Parade” of lights and music, and the “Guardians of Light” multimedia fireworks show, with thousands of fireworks illuminating the summer night sky—ensuring a vibrant evening for all visitors.

July is also a special month for fans of Everland’s panda family, the Baofamily, as it marks a series of birthdays. Special limited-edition commemorative badges will be given to those visiting on the birthdays of twin pandas Louibao and Huibao (July 7, their last birthday in Korea), as well as Aibao (July 13), Fubao (July 20), and Lebao (July 28), creating cherished memories for fans through a variety of celebratory events.
