Changwon Convention Center will host a K-pop festival and community market on September 12 as part of the 11th CECO DAY.
The K-Pop Festa will run from 5 to 8 p.m. at CECO’s outdoor plaza, with a dance pop-up class open to visitors without advance registration, a random play dance and performances by youth and local dance teams.
A separate Social Pop-Up will run from 3 to 7 p.m., featuring products from local small businesses, social enterprises, village businesses and companies employing people with disabilities.
The first 200 eligible participants who complete an advance ESG pledge will receive a 5,000 won voucher to spend at the market. Visitors spending at least 10,000 won can also enter a guaranteed-prize lucky draw, while those bringing reusable tumblers can receive a free iced Americano.
The September event begins a three-month series of programs at CECO, with additional events planned for October and November.
