This post summarizes the official press release from Changwon Special City (September 3),
as well as the poster and guide.

📅 What’s Happening in October?

Each night features a special
theme event.
It all starts this Friday and Saturday.

Each night also features busking, cultural performances,
and stage events.

The guide mentions that there will be ongoing
prize draws for customers who participate in events
and submit receipts from purchases made that day.

🎪 About the Event

This is part of the
Culture & Tourism Market Development Project
to revitalize traditional markets.
The poster lists the Ministry of SMEs and Startups,
the Small Enterprise and Market Service, and Changwon Special City
as co-hosts.

Dogye Bubu Market is a
specialty market known as the birthplace of Couple’s Day.
Every year on May 21, it hosts
a ‘Couple’s Day’ celebration.

The name ‘Moonlight Night Market’
symbolizes a cultural marketplace
where citizens share happiness and joy
under the abundant moonlight.

On regular days, it’s a local traditional market in Dogye-dong
with shops selling agricultural products, rice cakes, side dishes,
and a street lined with food stalls.

✨ What Can You Enjoy?

The night market is organized into three main areas.

If you complete a mission at the alley arcade,
you’ll receive a souvenir.
Souvenirs include diffusers, tumblers, bottled water, shopping bags, and more.
Quantities are limited each day and are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

The merchants’ association is working with professionals
to ensure market hygiene and sanitation,
and the Changwon branch of the Korea Foodservice Industry Association
will be on hand for food consultations.

🎁 Events You Can Join

Friday Market Day gifts
also end once the daily supply runs out.

There are three stamp tour routes:
Our Neighborhood (including Unicity),
Doridangil Cafes,
Local Festivals (Chrysanthemum Festival, MAMF) or
tourist spots in Uichang-gu,
all leading to the night market.

🚌 Getting There & Parking

The guide notes that
parking spaces around the venue are somewhat limited.
They recommend using public transportation if possible.

The event takes place along the market street
and in the Dogye Bubu Family Park area.
The map shows the public parking lot next to the market,
the event stage, alley arcade,
the main information desk (operations HQ), and restrooms.

The market opens at 18:00,
so it’s perfect for having dinner with market foods
and playing arcade games in the alley.
There are street dining areas set up.

No age restrictions are mentioned in the guide.
