The night market will feature a new theme every month, offering a unique experience each time. September's theme is "Night Market with Music," and it will be run as a participatory market where both residents and tourists can join in the fun.

During the event, attractions such as a four-cut photo booth and an air bounce will be available for children, while busking performances by local musicians, who are volunteering their talents, will further highlight the "Night Market with Music" theme.

Various events will also take place. Visitors who use the night market and submit their receipts will have a chance to win a 10,000 won gifticon, with 10 winners selected per session. There will also be a stamp tour event for children and teenagers, encouraging them to explore the shops within the central market.

Rest areas will be set up so that visitors can comfortably enjoy their purchased food.

For visitors' convenience, a map of the night market area and menus will be provided at each table. To address previous issues with food waste disposal, designated dish return areas and separate waste collection stations will be installed throughout the venue, ensuring a pleasant and clean night market environment.
