Guun-dong Holds First "Gundel Blue Dragon Cultural Festival"

The Guun-dong Village Development Promotion Committee (Chairman Song Ki-hwan) in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon announced that it held the first "Gundel Blue Dragon Cultural Festival," a celebration for Guun-dong residents, at Ilwol Park on the 21st.

Selected for a village development project in early this year and establishing the promotion committee in March, this event was systematically prepared. Various supporting programs took place including POP calligraphy demonstrations, pencil portrait drawing, and direct farm product markets. At 5 p.m., a lantern parade officially kicked off the main event.

The spectacle was created by spirited traditional percussion performances, mystical dragon lanterns, banners from nine organizations in Guun-dong, and processions of residents following behind.

In particular, a dragon ceremony ritual was reenacted, honoring tradition and praying for the peace and prosperity of Guun-dong, providing a special time that brought back old memories for elders and offered new attractions for children.
