Saha-gu District will host the 3rd Bunecia Art Free Market at Janglim Port on October 18 and 19, transforming the “Venice of Busan” into a lively waterfront festival filled with art, food, and performances.

The highlight of the event will be Busan’s only traditional fireworks display, set to illuminate the port’s waterway at 7:00 pm on October 18. This unique performance, in which burning charcoal powder cascades from suspended wires to create showers of sparks, drew over 8,000 visitors last year and promises to be even grander this year.

The festival will also feature an art exhibition “Isum: CONNECT” at the Shinpyeong Janglim Industrial Complex Innovation Support Center, along with hands-on programs, local food stalls, and cultural experiences organized in collaboration with Dong-A University and Busan Health College.

Nicknamed “Bunecia” for its picturesque canals and colorful buildings, Janglim Port has become a distinctive cultural destination.
