Suncheonman National Garden, Year-Round Cultural Events on the Green Route Theme

Character Parade, Planned Performances, Busking, etc.

Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu) announced that it will hold cultural events every weekend until December this year at Suncheonman Bay National Garden under the theme of ‘Garden Culture (Emotion) Green Route.’

‘Garden Culture (Emotion) Green Route’ was planned to add an analog emotional light to the national garden, which opened with a new concept of a garden where even astronauts visit, by overlaying AI and cultural content.

The city plans to establish and implement three major strategies for differentiated and high-quality cultural events unique to the national garden: ▲content enhancement ▲content improvement ▲content creation.

First, to enhance cultural content, a high-quality planned brand performance reflecting garden emotions will be held every Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Space Hub.

On April 13, the first event featured a flutist and a six-member male wind instrument band performing against the backdrop of grass and a lake, receiving enthusiastic responses from the audience.

Starting in May, to build its own brand through content improvement, a character parade featuring stories of Suncheon will be held every Saturday, expected to captivate visitors’ attention.

Additionally, to create new cultural content for the garden, various busking performances by local youth will be organized, aiming to utilize local culture and arts as resources.

Notably, a remarkable point of this cultural event is the ‘3 No’ strategy, which eliminates large-scale sound systems, stages, and large casts to harmonize with the garden performances.

Rather than events conducted with large budgets for short-term sparkle, the garden culture ‘3 No’ strategy delicately stimulates dreams and emotions, leaving a deep impression, and is expected to bring a fresh breeze.

Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu of Suncheon said, “We will develop the special local resource of Suncheonman, the national garden, into a garden culture delivery platform to maximize the value of cultural resources,” and added, “We ask for the citizens’ great interest and participation in the newly attempted ‘Garden Culture (Emotion) Green Route.’”

Meanwhile, the Garden Management Division plans to post photos and videos of the cultural events on the National Garden website so that citizens who cannot visit the national garden directly can feel the garden culture emotions in their daily lives.
