About

Welcome to Singwandong is a youth-culture-focused street festival held in the area of Daehak-ro, Singwan-dong, Gongju-si. It is part of the cultural city development project promoted by Gongju-si and the Gongju Culture & Tourism Foundation, aiming to foster Singwan-dong as a youth cultural hub and revitalize the local cultural ecosystem and commercial districts. The festival has been held since 2022 and has operated as a street-performance-centered festival, gradually expanding its content to include busking competitions, street performances, a beer festa, a flea market, and hands-on programs. In 2025, the 'Welcome to Singwandong' brand was established through the installation of street signposts and sculptures and the listing of the area in navigation services, and in 2026, the goal is to build a sustainable festival model based on a cooperative operating system involving residents, merchants, universities, and youth. The 2026 festival is scheduled to take place from October 9 to 11 in the area of Daehak-ro, Singwan-dong, and will feature main performances, nationwide street performances, performances by local youth and young adult troupes, programs linked to the local commercial district, and local currency coupon events. Additionally, in connection with the Baekje Cultural Festival, it is planned to operate as a representative local street festival that encourages visitors to stay longer and promotes the cultural and economic revitalization of the Singwan-dong area.
