Jeonju Alleyway Dream Festival
The ‘Jeonju Alleyway Dream Festival’ was held to recover the alley economy of Jeonju, which has been struggling due to the prolonged pandemic and shrinking consumption. Celebrating its 2nd year this year, this festival is held under the theme of the dream of a rejuvenating alley business area, to help restore and revitalize the stagnant alleyway business area, such as Hyeoksin-dong Clock Tower, Hyeoksin-dong Daebang DM City, Hyeoksin-dong Gijije Waterside Park, Pyeonghwa-dong Saeteo Park, It was held at a total of 7 locations, including Gongju Street, Songcheon 2-dong Community Service Center, and Gaekridan-gil.
Alleyway Dream Festival, which opened with plenty of opening events
The Alleyway Dream Festival was held in Jeonju, where people overcame the corona crisis and welcomed people with rich and enjoyable events. In front of the Hyeoksin-dong clock tower shopping district, a tree-lighting ceremony was held along with the opening ceremony, adding to the Christmas feeling with a brightly shining tree. The alleyways were full of vitality due to the people who visited specialized alleys to enjoy the festival and the shops that prepared various events and attractions.
Retro performances for the 40-50 generation were presented along with the opening ceremony with the program ‘Memories of teardrops, retro innovation!’. Despite the extremely cold weather, many people enjoyed the festival while enjoying the events and performances composed of parts 1 and 2. After visiting shops that sell various products, enjoying stage performances and various side events, and filling your stomach with delicious food, you will be surprised at the time that has passed without you realizing it. Seeing the people participating in the exciting festival without realizing the time is passing, I feel proud that the vitality of the alleys is returning and recovering with everyone's participation.
