Chungjang Street Festival of Recollection (광주 추억의 충장축제)
The '2026 Geumnamno Car-Free Street Walk-ing' is an event held in the Geumnamno area of Dong-gu, Gwangju, which transforms Geumnamno into a car-free street in conjunction with the past Chungjang Street Festival of Recollection, showcasing a variety of cultural content. This event aims to provide enjoyable experiences for citizens while reflecting on Gwangju's history and culture. In the past, the Chungjangno area was Gwangju's central commercial district, a place imbued with many people's memories, and the festival was planned to revive this historical significance. Geumnamno, operated as a car-free street, is reborn as a pedestrian-centric space, offering a diverse range of attractions and activities such as street performances, exhibitions, and experience programs. Notably, the name 'Walk-ing' combines the pure Korean word for 'walk' with the friendly suffix 'ing,' signifying encouragement for citizen participation and adding to the festival's enjoyment. During the festival, Geumnamno transforms into a cultural space where the past and present coexist, offering visitors unforgettable memories. It is establishing itself as an important event that contributes to the revitalization of the local economy and enhances Gwangju's cultural standing.
