The city of Busan announced that it will host the 17th Busan Port Festival for two days from June 1 to June 2, against the backdrop of Busan Port. The event will take place at the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal, Bukhang Waterfront Park, and Yeongdo Coast Guard Pier. A highlight of this year’s festival is the "Global Port-Park," a space utilizing the symbol of Busan Port logistics, the "container," where visitors can experience diverse content from various countries. In this space, visitors can engage with traditional crafts and cultures from different nations. The "Turkey Pavilion" will offer hands-on experiences with Turkish traditional crafts, the "Japan Pavilion" will showcase Japanese music culture, and the "Thailand Pavilion" will feature Thailand’s healing culture, providing a small world tour that satisfies all senses. Additionally, the "Busan Pavilion," composed of large containers, will offer educational experiences through quizzes and missions related to Busan Port. At Bukhang Waterfront Park, there will be children's writing and drawing contests and model ship-building activities. At the Yeongdo Coast Guard Pier, programs will include the "Large Patrol Ship Open House," a "Busan Port Tour" featuring boarding experiences on the 'Saenuriho' and 'Jagalchi Cruise,' and a "Mission Stamp Tour" where participants visit the Yeongdo Marine Cluster to complete missions. The opening ceremony will be held at 7:30 PM on June 1 at the parking lot of the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal. The ceremony will feature a celebratory performance by singer Kim Bum-soo and a spectacular "Busan Port Fireworks Show & Dong-gu Drone Art Show" with 1,200 drones and fireworks, marking the start of the festival. Park Geun-rok, head of the City’s Tourism MICE Bureau, stated, “It is meaningful to host the 17th festival at Busan Port, which holds economic and historical significance as an international trading port. We have prepared a variety of experiential programs for citizens to enjoy, and we look forward to their interest and participation.”
