Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will host the '2025 Manseokgeo Saebit Festival' next month.

On May 23, Suwon City announced that the Manseokgeo Saebit Festival will take place at Manseok Park from June 5 to June 15. This marks the second consecutive year for the festival, which aims to promote the value of Manseokgeo, a World Irrigation Facility Heritage site, and to revitalize Suwon's nighttime tourism.

The festival will open on June 5 at 8:20 p.m. with a fantastic music fountain and aurora show, fireworks, and busking performances.

On June 6 and 7, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the music fountain and aurora show will be held twice each night. In addition, various landscape lights will be installed along the route from the plaza of the Second Outdoor Music Hall to the Manseokgeo promenade, creating the 'Saebit Walkway' until the festival concludes on June 15.
