It’s the perfect season to spread out a mat on the lawn and read a book 📖
This weekend in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, the 4th Yuseong Book Festival will be held at the east lawn plaza of Yurim Park from October 10 (Sat) to 11 (Sun).
Saturday runs from 11:00 to 21:00, Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, and admission is free.
I’ve organized the official press release, Yuseong-gu Integrated Library notices, and leaflet info for you.
🎪 What Kind of Event Is It?
This year’s theme is ‘Seorakseorak (書樂書樂) I Love Books~Seo!(書)’. There are 72 programs across 10 categories including lectures, performances, and exhibitions.
At the outdoor library on the lawn equipped with wooden shade, tents, and camping chairs, you can freely read 879 books, and 487 books—including past Newbery Medal winners—will be on display.
Yuseong-gu shared that last year, over 10,000 people attended.
