[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu) announced on the 14th that it will hold the ‘Fresh Pocha Summer Taste!’ event at Yeokjeon Market on Friday and Saturday evenings for two weeks from tomorrow until the 23rd.

Held for the third time this year following 2020 and 2021, this event is a new concept pocha (outdoor bar) at Yeokjeon Market, the largest seafood hub in the eastern region of Jeollanam-do, where visitors can buy ingredients and cook them on site. At affordable prices, people of all ages can enjoy seasonal food grilled over charcoal and various event experiences, savoring the romance of summer nights.

This event will be conducted as a pilot operation to prepare for the main festival.

Residents near the station area and the Yeokjeon Market Merchants’ Association plan to hold a permanent festival led by residents and merchants in the future by addressing trial and error and issues through this pilot operation.

A Suncheon city official said, “We prepared this so that many people can come and enjoy it, building on the diverse ideas of Yeokjeon Market merchants and residents and two years of experience with the Fresh Pocha event,” adding, “We will strictly adhere to summer hygiene and COVID-19 prevention guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable festival.”
