8th Golmokgil Art Festival (제8회 골목길아트페스티발)

Details>> https://www.facebook.com/Golmoggil

8th Golmokgil Art Festival is just around the corner. I remember the festival used to be held in late August, but this year it has held off a little bit. I guess the weather will be much better to look around the festival than before.

The festival is organized by Golmokgil People (골목길 사람들), which is mostly composed of many local artists. It's not been that long since it started, so I'm really afraid that not many people are aware of its existence. I myself participated in the 6th festival as part of a group guitar performance. Back then, I also didn't know much about the festival except that something happens during the time of the year. However, this festival is actually what makes Jinju a real "cultural and artistic city", which I grew up hearing so often although I didn't understand why Jinju is so.

As indicated in the name, the main venue is the Golmokgil, or an alley, stretching from the Jinju Post Office to Jinju Educational Office. There the main performances are supposed to be held on Wed. 9th and 12th September. Not only that, a variety of events are held throughout the city. (Please check details below.)

What I recommend you is the finale performances which is held on the 12th night. Looking back on the festival I took part in two years ago, I was very impressed by the fact that a small side street could become a nice concert hall. My favorite (except for my team) was the parade in the beginning. Luckily, it seems that the parade is going to open the night again.

Also, Uslung Market, a flea market which is held every second and fourth Saturday in downtown, will be temporarily open on the 9th at 4 PM, in addition to its regular opening on the 12th.


And I bet kids will go crazy when they see the dreamy bubbles a Japanese ajeossi makes at the finale.

Anyway, I hope you won't miss the exciting festival. :)
