Daejeon Dong-gu Dongrak Festival

The Daejeon Dong-gu Dongrak Festival, unfolding at the East Plaza behind Daejeon Station — a transportation hub — and along Daedongcheon Stream, is Daejeon's flagship cultural tourism festival, set amid autumn atmosphere where city and nature meet. It is packed with content, from world cuisines at distinctive themed booths to game zones that anyone, young or old, can join and enjoy. In particular, the 'Booknic' — reading and resting against the natural backdrop of Daedongcheon Stream — offers leisure and romance in the heart of the city, while a baking competition that reveals participants' creativity and skill, and a cooking show featuring professional chefs, add a special gourmet touch to the festival. At this festival, where nature and culture blend with local attractions such as the Gwasachon and Soje-dong cafe streets, visitors can fully feel the unique sentiment and charm of Daejeon's Dong-gu.
