Waves of Starlight Flowing in through Haeundae! Haeundae Light Festival
The 12th Haeundae Light Festival will be held from November 29 to January 18 next year, beginning with the lighting ceremony and taking place along Gunam–ro and Haeundae Beach. The theme of this year’s festival is “Stellar Haeundae,” and it is represented by “waves of starlight flowing in.”
The festival will feature a breathtaking scene where starlight flows like waves along Gunam–ro and extends toward the night sea off Haeundae. A Starlight Gate will welcome visitors at the entrance of Gunam–ro, and the Stellar Wave Zone, depicting waves of light rolling toward the sea, will illuminate the street.
In the center of Gunam–ro, a 4–meter–high three–dimensional star sculpture symbolizing the brilliant explosion of a star will be installed. This year’s large Christmas tree on Gunam–ro will feature three different sizes – 3m, 5m, and 8m – decorated with charming ornaments to enhance the festive atmosphere of Christmas and the New Year season.
• Starlight Square for Fun Participation and Experiences
At the Event Square on Haeundae Beach, the Starlight Square will be open daily from 6pm to 10pm, offering hands–on experiences such as sand art, line art, and pedal–powered bicycles.
During the Christmas season, a photo booth program will also be available, offering free prop rentals for visitors to capture memorable moments.
• Haeundae Universe Zone Adorning the Night Sea
On the Haeundae Beach sand, a 10–meter–tall installation will serve as a canvas for media art displays. The Haeundae Universe Zone, designed to represent a vast galaxy of starlight across the night sea, will also be featured.
A 180–meter section will be transformed into a cosmic space using Milky Way–style LED lights, with illuminated sculptures of planets, stars, and spacecraft placed throughout, allowing visitors to feel as if they are traveling through the universe.
