Gwonseon-gu Guun-dong's 'Gundeul Cheongnyong Cultural Festival' Draws Large Crowds

On the 14th, the "2nd Gundeul Cheongnyong Cultural Festival," a celebration for residents of Guun-dong, was held with great success in Guun-dong and Ilwol Park, attended by guests and residents.

This year's festival, systematically prepared with improvements and refinements to address shortcomings from last year, featured various supporting events including traditional fan napkin art, pencil portrait drawing, direct farm produce markets, visiting Gwonseon-gu Health Center services, and food stalls. The main festivities kicked off at 5 p.m. with the Cheongnyong Parade.

The spirited traditional percussion performances, the mystical atmosphere created by the blue dragon and yellow dragon, and the procession of ten community groups from Guun-dong followed by residents created a spectacular sight.

In particular, the recreation of the yongjeong ritual ceremony, which prays for the peace and development of Guun-dong, revived memories for elders and provided new entertainment for children, creating a special moment that connected generations through tradition.

Additionally, this year's solicitation and awards for old photographs of Guun-dong became an opportunity to cherish the significance and memories of the community.

Moreover, a residents' talent show featuring Korean dance, gayageum performances, and dance shows by local students, as well as congratulatory performances by invited singers and various club performances by residents, showcased the hidden talents of participants from diverse age groups.
