Nakdonggang Gupo Naru Festival

The 13th Nakdong River Gupo Naru Festival is a leading regional cultural tourism festival held in the beautiful Hwamyeong Ecological Park, built on the history and culture of Gupo, which was once a major ferry crossing and logistics hub on the Nakdong River. Under the slogan 'Connect, Play, Meet! Gupo Naru,' the festival runs for three days from October 16 to 18, offering a variety of programs including performances, exhibitions, experiences, and food so that people of all ages can enjoy it together. Highlights include a recreated ferry site where visitors can see the old appearance of Gupo Naru, as well as the Gupo Noodle Platter and noodle-making experience, ecological experience programs, wellness programs, and the Nakdong Book Fair. The festival also runs programs where residents directly participate, such as the Gupo Naru Song Festival and Our Neighborhood Open Busking, adding to the enjoyment as visitors and local residents create the festival together. After sunset, nighttime content such as the Gupo Naru Night Walk and the Garden of Light, along with the Byeolbada Busan Night Market, continues, letting visitors enjoy a beautiful autumn night by the Nakdong River. At Gupo Naru, where history and culture, nature and people, taste and enjoyment come together, visitors can make special autumn memories with family, friends, and neighbors.
