Ulsan's best festival, the Industrial Festival, is being held there?

Yes, it is.

Ulsan has a reputation as a representative industrial city in Korea.

As if to prove its reputation, the 2024 Ulsan Industrial Festival is being held here.

Following last year, we came to the citizens with a large-scale event again this time.

The Ulsan Industrial Festival is one of the festivals that best reveals Ulsan's identity.

This festival commemorates the beginning and glory of Ulsan, the industrial capital of the 1960s, with the slogan of 'You are a great Ulsan person.'

The biggest feature of this festival is that you can feel the atmosphere of the 1960s, which was designated as the first specific industrial district in Korea.

In order to recreate Ulsan's lively appearance in the 1960s, the medal-shaped clock tower was also restored.
Sculptures made from industrial waste resources, such as 8.5m high robots, are also catching the attention of citizens on the banks of the Taehwa River
.

In particular, you can see the street parade, the flower of this festival,

The street march, which starts at 3 p.m. shortly, will be held in a 1.2km section from the industrial tower Rotary to the city hall intersection,

We plan to deeply express Ulsan's identity for about 90 minutes.

In addition, there are various programs that are good for visitors to enjoy,

Starting with 2,000 drone cluster shows, events for various classes such as youth marches and national B-boy festivals, as well as

You can also see invited performances by the Chinese Shaolin History Martial Arts Performance Group and performances by famous Korean singers.

Food cannot be left out of the festival.

There is also a food shelter for Taehwa River restaurants and a drunkard yard where you can taste various beers.

There is also a future high-tech fair, showing its dignity as an industrial city.

On the 13th, a large-scale show using 40,000 fireworks and 1,000 drones will also be held at Ilsan Beach, Ulsan's representative tourist destination.

The festival will run until the 13th, so please refer to it for your viewing.
