👨👩👧 If You’re Bringing Kids
The press release says the event is designed
so you can enjoy local culture from all over Korea during the day,
and performances at night.
However, there is no specific mention
of kids’ activity booths.
With children, you can check out the outdoor sculpture exhibition, flea market,
and food trucks,
then continue on to the evening performances.
There will be safety staff throughout the venue,
and coordination with the police, fire department,
and health center is planned.
Since the evening performances are outdoors by the river after sunset,
it’s a good idea to bring an extra layer.
