Following the success of last year’s Christmas Village Busan, the Busan Tourism Organization has launched a significantly expanded follow-up event, Port Village Busan, at Pier 1 of North Port, currently underway through the 8th.
The five-day event, co-hosted with the Korea Tourism Organization and Food Travel, will transform the former logistics hub into a European-style seaside market and cultural festival.
This year’s edition will be held on a scale eight times larger than the previous event, spanning approximately 14,200 square meters.
Around 60 food and beverage brands from across the globe, including Busan favorites like Momos Coffee and Haeundae Amso Galbi, will offer a wide range of international cuisine.
In addition, 50 lifestyle, fashion, and craft brands will participate, with special attractions such as the Miffy Café Busan, offering limited-edition items available only on-site.
The venue will accommodate up to 1,500 seated guests indoors and outdoors, and will be pet-friendly.
Organizers anticipate a turnout of roughly 200,000 visitors, more than doubling last year’s attendance.
