내용

□ Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon), together with Acting President of the Korea Tourism Organization Seo Young-chung and Busan Tourism Organization President Lee Jung-sil, announced today (4th) that the “2025 Starry Sea Busan Night Festa” will be held through October.

○ Launched in 2022 as a seasonal night-time content series, this event has expanded each year since Busan was selected in 2023 for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s Night Tourism Specialized City Project, establishing itself as Busan’s signature night tourism brand.

○ Taking place during the summer vacation season from July to August and alongside major Busan festivals in September to October, the festival will span four months and offer domestic and international visitors a diverse experience of Busan's vibrant nightlife.

□ This year, nine themed programs will be featured:

▲ “Science & Magic Kids Night Playground,” newly introduced this year in collaboration with the National Busan Science Museum, offers night-time science activities, magic shows, and various other content that will create unforgettable summer night memories for families visiting Busan.
▲ “Night Music Campnic & Travel Show” at Dadaepo Beach Park, co-hosted with Saha-gu, presents an even richer lineup of performances and sights than last year, along with booths promoting promising tourism companies from the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region.
▲ “Night Popup,” held at Yongdusan Park, a landmark in Busan’s original downtown district, will feature pop-up stores from popular emoticon character brands targeting the MZ generation.
▲ “Night Market,” a flagship program of the Festa, combines Nakdong Riverside’s sunset views, ecological surroundings, and traditional liquor-themed pop-up stores. In response to last year’s enthusiastic reception, the event duration has been significantly extended from 9 days to 20 days this year.

□ Detailed schedules and participation information for each program are available on the Busan tourism portal “Visit Busan” (www.visitbusan.net) and the city’s night tourism channel (@starry_night_busan.kr).

□ Kim Hyun-jae, Director General of the Tourism and MICE Industry Bureau, stated, “Thanks to the overwhelming support received last year, we have prepared even more distinctive and captivating content this year,” and added, “We will continue to develop sustainable, year-round night-time content that visitors to Busan can enjoy.”
