Today, Christmas, some people may spend time at home or enjoy the Christmas atmosphere outdoors.

In Damyang, Jeollanam-do, the Santa Festival is being held for Christmas.

I'm connecting you with a field reporter. Reporter Oh Sun Yeol!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's in Damyang, Jeollanam-do.

[Anchor]
The number of visitors increased in the afternoon, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

It's chilly, but citizens have continued to visit from early morning until now.

Christmas sculptures have been prepared everywhere from bamboo trees on the street of Damyang Santa Festival.

This year marks the sixth anniversary of the Damyang Santa Festival.

It was held every year in the village of Meta Provence.

This year, the festival venue was moved to the original city center to revitalize the sluggish local economy.

That's why the theme of the festival is 'Jang-ro 56, Invitation to Winter Magic'.

As various sculptures with a Christmas atmosphere were installed at the venue, the entire village turned into Santa Street.

Along with this, there are a variety of things to see and enjoy, including Santa Camp Fire, Wish Tree, and magic performances.

Today is the second day of the festival.

During the Santa Festival, the original downtown area was operated as a car-free street, increasing the convenience and stability of visitors.

Damyang-gun divided Santa Street into four areas and expanded accommodation facilities that were lacking.

More than 150,000 people are expected to visit the site, creating an unusual night view for citizens visiting it late at night.
