내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that Domoheon will be specially opened to residents and tourists from September 26 to 27 for the Chuseok holiday, with a variety of cultural and hands-on programs to be offered.

The special opening hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 26, and from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 27.

Domoheon will, however, be closed on September 24 and 25 during the Chuseok holiday.

During the special opening period, Domoheon’s main building, Sosopung Garden, and café will be open, allowing visitors to enjoy culture and relaxation together in the heart of the city.

In particular, the outdoor jazz concert “Busan, Immersed in Jazz 2” will be held at Sosopung Garden from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on September 26. The concert will feature pop jazz performances and will be open free of charge to anyone, with admission limited to the first 300 people on the day of the event.

Traditional game experience booths will also be operated in the main building and Sosopung Garden throughout the special opening period, while a garden program is scheduled for September 27. Advance online reservations for the garden program can be made through the official Domoheon website at https://busan.go.kr/domoheon.

The Domoheon Deullak Nallak Children’s Library will be closed on September 26 and will operate as usual on September 27.

Meanwhile, Domoheon has continued to expand its role as a venue for residents to enjoy culture and as a space for international exchange by hosting a range of cultural, artistic, and international events this year.

In August, it hosted the “2026 Traveling Masterpieces of Korean Craft Exhibition,” organized by the Korea Craft and Design Foundation, presenting high-quality craft works to residents. In September, it hosted the “2026 MAD STARS Creative Pop-up,” providing an opportunity to share creative content and ideas with the public.

In October, Domoheon plans to hold the “Domoheon Special Exhibition Commemorating the Launch of the 9th Elected Municipal Administration.” Busan Metropolitan City intends to continue using Domoheon as a space where residents can enjoy culture and the arts in their daily lives and share in the city’s policies and values.

For the convenience of residents and tourists during the special opening period, Busan Metropolitan City will provide free access to the Domoheon parking lot and operate a special shuttle bus service connecting Namcheon Station on Metro Line 2 with Domoheon.

The Domoheon parking lot will be available free of charge from 9:30 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. on September 26 and from 9:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. on September 27. As increased visitor numbers during the Chuseok holiday are expected to cause congestion in the parking lot, Busan Metropolitan City encourages visitors to use public transportation whenever possible.

The Domoheon shuttle bus will operate every 30 minutes between Exit 1 of Namcheon Station on Metro Line 2 and Domoheon. A detailed shuttle timetable is available on the official Domoheon website at https://busan.go.kr/domoheon.

Heo Nam-sik, Director General of the Administrative Autonomy Bureau, said, “We hope residents and tourists visiting Domoheon during this Chuseok holiday will enjoy the jazz concert and a variety of activities with their families and spend a relaxing time in the heart of the city.”

He added, “We will continue to do our utmost to establish Domoheon as one of Busan’s leading unique venues, where diverse cultural and artistic activities and international exchanges can take place.”
