The “Gangdong Greenway Walking Festival & Summer Night Concert” is a festival where you can wash away the fatigue of a long workweek and enjoy the romance of a summer night.
This Saturday (the 11th), anyone can participate for free without prior registration or ticket reservations.
Here’s a weekend healing course where you can awaken your body by walking through lush greenery and enjoy an atmospheric live performance while sitting on the lawn as the sunset fades.
🌳 A 1.5-kilometer free healing trail through a lush green forest
The main event begins at 5:40 p.m., just as the sun begins to set. A 1.5-kilometer “Greenway Healing Course” has been set up, perfect for families, couples, or those enjoying a leisurely walk on their own. It’s a chance to fully experience the fresh summer scents of Iljasan Mountain while strolling along a gentle walking path rather than a steep hiking trail. There is absolutely no participation fee, and anyone looking to breathe new life into their weary daily routine is welcome to join in freely on-site.
🎤 An atmospheric live performance by Tae and Jadu filling the Grass Plaza
At 7:30 p.m., the atmosphere becomes even more romantic!
A concert that will beautifully illuminate the summer night will kick off on the special stage at Iljisan Grass Plaza. Admission is free for all seats.
- The charm of tradition: A resonant opening performance by the Gangdong District Folk Arts Troupe heralds the start of the festival.
- Emotional Vocals: Premium balladeer “T.E.Y.”, with his deeply moving voice, and “Jadu,” known for her unique timbre, will take the stage to captivate audiences with their live performances.
⏱️ Tips for Enjoying the Concert to the Fullest
Keep your wallet light and your hands full—that’s all it takes to create your own perfect outdoor seating area.
📌 Checklist Before Your Visit
- Essential Items: Since admission is free, securing a prime spot is key. Bringing a large picnic blanket in advance will allow you to comfortably settle in on the grassy plaza, lie back, and enjoy the performance at your leisure. Bring some late-night snacks to enjoy while watching the show, and you’ll have the perfect weekend night!
- Summer Night Etiquette: As a cool breeze may blow after sunset, we recommend bringing a light jacket or mosquito repellent.
