About

The Baengmaek Festival, which has grown into a representative event of Gangbuk-gu since 2023, aims to help transform Uicheon Stream into a permanent night market and a cultural space centered along the stream. In line with Seoul’s efforts to develop attractions near the stream, the festival highlights the area’s scenic waterfront as its main venue. Bringing together local businesses and young entrepreneurs, the festival creates a welcoming space for people of all ages. Rather than focusing on big-name performers, it features a variety of busking acts and performances by local artists, encouraging community participation

It also expands opportunities for small businesses by offering spaces for traditional market foods and craft beer, helping vendors reach new customers.
