Additionally, experience booths that were popular in previous events (drone basketball, drone simulation, drone fishing, balloon popping, obstacle racing, 3D pen experience) have been prepared so that all generations, young and old, can enjoy them.

In connection with the ‘2022?2023 Jeollanam-do Year of Visit,’ the event will introduce and promote the tourism resources of Jeonnam and Mokpo, and a separate National Sports Festival Promotion Booth will be operated to widely publicize the two major sports events held in Mokpo in October and November.

Mayor Park Hong-ryul said, “Through the Sunset Drone Light Show, which has established itself as a nighttime tourism content of Mokpo, I hope everyone enjoys exciting performances with their loved ones and creates unforgettable memories while watching the spectacular drone show.”

He added, “Since traffic congestion is expected during the event period, please use public transportation as much as possible,” and “The city will cooperate with related organizations to ensure perfect safety, striving to make the event a joyful and accident-free venue.”

Meanwhile, the drone show, which was inevitably canceled in the first half of the year due to bad weather, is scheduled to be held once more on Saturday, November 11, following the October event.
