Gwangju City is launching a special program called 'Art Picnic,' where families can enjoy performances and water activities together in the city center during the hot summer months.
On August 13, Gwangju City announced that it will hold the urban cultural arts picnic 'G-Summer Picnic,' a family-oriented cultural and arts experience program, at the City Hall outdoor plaza on August 16.
'G-Summer Picnic,' the summer edition of the Art Picnic series held 12 times throughout the year, features a variety of programs, including performances (Cotton Candy Show, Balloon Bubble Show), entertainment, water activities (water slides, large pool, shaded swimming pool), and hands-on programs (decorating summer sun hats, bamboo water gun decorating, beach ball decorating, and eight other activities).
