Lights of Cheonggyecheon (청계천의 빛)

About

Having first lit up Seoul's winter nights in 2015, Lights of Cheonggyecheon returns for its twelfth winter, running for 21 days from December 11 to 31 at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul. Under this year's theme, "Light Up Tomorrow," the festival has been reimagined as a storytelling event that shares citizens' dreams and hopes through light. Alongside its much-loved one-of-a-kind trees, photo zones, and rides on the Dream Light Train (a mini train), this year a giant screen will show a video featuring dream drawings by child artists with developmental disabilities and dream messages sent in by citizens. The festival lights up Cheonggye Plaza every day from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and admission is free for all.
