the attached poster, and the Chungbuk Aquarium notice.

🎪 About the Festival
The Chungcheongbuk-do Inland Fisheries Research Institute
is hosting a family-oriented autumn program
at the Chungbuk Aquarium area.
The poster slogan is
’Colored by autumn leaves, immersed in fun.’
There are 9 programs in total,
including performances, experiences, and exhibitions.
Among them, the ‘Children’s Animal Farm’ puppet show (September 20) and
the Emotional Insect Raising & Ecology Experience (September 26·27)
have already ended.
Chungbuk Aquarium showcases native Korean freshwater fish
as well as exotic freshwater species from Asia, the Amazon, and Africa.
There is a 270-degree underwater tunnel,
a sky bridge overlooking the tanks,
and the Chungbuk Lake Park Hall with Hwangssogari and Baekssogari fish.
✨ What Happens When?
I’ve organized the remaining programs by date as listed on the poster.

Next to the insect art exhibition dates,
the poster also says in parentheses ‘10. 1. to 10. 31.‘

about what the parenthesis dates mean.
The Halloween theme starts from October 19 (Mon),
but that day is a closed day.
