Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that various sports and cultural programs will be operated in the 15-Minute City Busan during September.

Under the theme “Closer to Home, What Do You Want to Do?”, the programs have been prepared to support a joyful and happy community life with good culture and good neighbors within the living areas of the 16 districts.

First, new daily sports programs will be launched that combine Busan’s natural environment with its reputation as a paradise for sports.

As a new program, the “Seven Bridge Tour: Riding in Busan” will be held on September 21. This is the only urban event in the country where participants can ride bicycles across four sea-crossing bridges including Gwangandaegyo, two underpasses, and one tunnel, covering an unprecedented course that connects seven bridges.

Another new program, “Exercise under the Moonlight – Busan Challenge,” will also be introduced. Every Sunday at Gwangalli Beach, residents can join influencers in daily sports programs such as moonlight exercise and beach yoga, open to all citizens.

In addition, a variety of daily sports programs and competitions will be held, including Jangsu Sports University programs in Jung-gu and Seo-gu, and the Oryukdo Love Walking Festival on the coastal trail (September 20).

Furthermore, the Busan Cultural Foundation will continue to provide cultural programs that allow citizens to enjoy diverse experiences closer to home.

For example, “Sauna: Sharing Love and Friendship,” a neighborhood cultural and arts program, will offer 18 initiatives that encourage local, community-led creative activities, vibrant daily life, and physical activities.

In addition, through the “Living Culture Class,” citizens can experience a wide range of activities such as band, Nanta percussion, Latin dance, crafts, home gardening, flower gardening, and writing at various living culture centers, adding vitality and diversity to everyday life.

Alongside this, the Busan Metropolitan City arts organizations will operate the “Visiting Art Troupe,” while the Busan Cinema Center will operate the “Visiting Cinema,” bringing high-quality cultural arts closer to citizens’ homes.

The “Visiting Art Troupe” will visit locations such as Aegwang Senior Nursing Hospital, Sasang-gu Welfare Center for the Disabled, and Hwamyeong Library to present performances by the Youth Symphony Orchestra and theater groups, as well as classical concerts with commentary, offering enjoyable experiences in daily life.

The “Visiting Cinema” will host screenings such as Gasinadeul of Chilgok at the Geoje-dong Administrative Welfare Center, Firefighter at the playground of Sangri Elementary School in Yeongdo-gu, and other films, creating opportunities for community viewing with local residents.

In addition, a variety of other programs will be operated. Detailed schedules and program information can be found on the city’s integrated reservation system “Uratchacha Daily Sports Portal” (reserve.busan.go.kr

, busan.go.kr/sports), and through the websites of district/county sports councils.

Im Kyung-mo, Director General of the Urban Innovation & Balance Office, stated,

“In the 15-Minute City Busan, we will expand opportunities to walk, learn, and communicate with neighbors, adding vitality to daily life and fostering a warm community culture. We will continue to strive to make Busan a 15-Minute City where everyday life is joyful together with neighbors.”
