About
The Yangdong Back to the Jang Hongtak Festa pairs hongeo (fermented skate), the signature specialty of Gwangju's Yangdong Market, with the city's takju (makgeolli rice wine) to showcase and revitalize the traditional market. Merchant associations from seven markets, including Yangdong Market, Su Market, Yangdong Bokgae Arcade, Gyeongyeol-ro Market, the Dried Seafood Market and Dakjeon-gil Market, join forces to bring the shopping district together and draw more visitors. During the festival, a variety of hongtak food stalls are open, along with a "₩1,000 Makgeolli" booth serving Gwangju's representative makgeolli, such as Mudeungsan Makgeolli and Bia Makgeolli, at ₩1,000 a cup. A receipt payback event offers Onnuri gift certificates and hongeo tasting coupons. The program also features an opening performance, the Heung Buja Song & Dance Contest, a Hongtak Table Contest with a gourmet show by master chef Ahn Yu-seong, an EDM DJ party and many other cultural performances and special programs. It is Gwangju's leading traditional market festival, where visitors can enjoy Yangdong Market's one-of-a-kind food culture linking tradition and generations.
