Daejeon Dong-gu Dongnak Festival

Held at the East Plaza behind Daejeon Station, a hub of transport, and along the Daedongcheon Stream, the Daejeon Dong-gu Dongnak Festival is one of Daejeon's signature culture and tourism festivals, to be enjoyed in autumn surroundings where the city meets nature. It is full of content, from world cuisine served at distinctive themed booths to game zones anyone can join. In particular, Bookcnic — reading and resting against the nature of the Daedongcheon — offers ease and romance in the middle of the city, while a bakery competition showing off participants' creativity and skill and a cooking show with professional chefs add a special culinary dimension. At this festival, where nature and culture come together with local attractions such as the old officials' housing quarter and the Soje-dong cafe street, you can feel the distinct character and appeal of Daejeon's Dong-gu in full.
