Performances to boost the festival's excitement will continue on the stage, and 50 tables and 300 chairs will be prepared along a 100-meter stretch from the stage so visitors can comfortably enjoy their food. Before the night market opens, from 12 PM to 4 PM, a raffle event will be held. Customers who purchase more than 20,000 KRW will receive various prizes, including wine, sesame oil, and assorted Korean beef brisket, totaling 65 different items.
