Around the stage, food booths run by the market merchants association and food trucks will be set up, allowing visitors to enjoy various foods along with refreshing beer.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “In this unusually hot summer, I hope all generations in the community come together to create joyful memories on summer nights,” adding, “We will strive to continuously hold festivals that highlight the unique characteristics of the region.”

The Moonlight Outing festival was held for the first time last year. It aimed to transform Cheongnyangni General Market from a simple ‘traditional market’ into a ‘commercial cultural space’ that resonates with younger generations as well.
