Nine Merchant Associations Around Paldalmun Gate Hold Regular Performances at Jidong Bridge

Paldal-gu District in Suwon announced that it will hold 'Saturday Regular Cultural Performances' from September 8 through December as the restoration of the Suwon Stream and Namsumun Gate have been completed. The district aims to establish neighboring traditional markets as 'traditional markets worth visiting' by regularly promoting cultural events.

The regular performances, jointly organized with nine merchant associations around the Paldalmun Gate area including Jidong Market and Yeongdong Market, will feature various genres such as music, dance, and performances every Saturday starting at 4 p.m. at Jidong Bridge.

Yun Geon-mo, district chief of Paldal-gu, said, "We will work to ensure that traditional markets become not just places to buy and sell inexpensive goods, but spaces where diverse cultural and artistic activities can establish themselves as part of our everyday lifestyle."
