Guro District in Seoul will host the 3rd Jumak Street Guksa-jeon on June 13 and 14 at Oryu-dong Station Plaza and the surrounding Oryu-dong Station Culture Park area. Now in its third year, this festival recreates Oryugol Jumak Street, which historically served as a key gateway between Hanyang and Incheon, offering local residents a chance to experience its historical significance and nostalgia.

The festival will run for two days from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. On the first day, June 13, the official opening ceremony will take place at 7:00 p.m., featuring performances by trot singers Kim Hyeyeon and Kim Seonghwan to further heighten the festive atmosphere.

At Oryu-dong Station Plaza, a variety of programs will be available for couples, friends, and families, including exhibition, performance, marketplace, and experience zones. The Exhibition Zone will display diverse materials showcasing the history and stories of Jumak Street, with traditional lantern-lit paths adding to the ambiance. Visitors can create special memories by taking photos against the backdrop of recreated traditional thatched houses, guesthouses, and lantern-lit paths.

The Performance Zone will feature traditional cultural performances, popular music concerts, and stages with participants from the Guro Cultural Center. The Marketplace Zone will offer tastings of traditional Makgeolli and various jumak-style dishes, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of old taverns. In the Experience Zone, families can enjoy activities such as making traditional fans, trying on Hanbok, and playing traditional instruments.

At Oryu-dong Station Culture Park, a family rest area and flea market will operate throughout the two days. On the second day, June 14, a writing contest and an awards ceremony for the elementary, middle, and high school art competitions will be held.
