In the heart of Seoul, an urban summer vacation featuring music and delicious food is set to take place.
The Seoul Design Foundation announced that the 'DDP Vacation: DDP Music Festival' will be held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) from July 31 to August 2.
This event, themed 'Summer Vacation at DDP,' is a summer festival where attendees can enjoy music, gourmet food, and relaxation. The evening program will run from 4 PM to 11 PM, allowing everyone to experience Seoul's summer nights.
The festival will feature live stages, relaxation zones, and market areas. The live performances will take place from 9 PM to 11 PM, with the first day dedicated to 'Jazz Night,' the second to 'Classical Night,' and the third to 'Folk Night,' offering a different atmosphere each evening.
In the relaxation zone, attendees can enjoy performances while lounging on bean bags. This area will be available for pre-registered guests, who will receive a vacation package for a special summer experience. Additionally, on-site participation will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The market zone will offer a variety of food and refreshing drinks, including DDP beer, premium spirits, and pairing pies, as well as non-alcoholic options and potato chips in rose flavor. Twenty small businesses will also provide a range of snacks, such as ice cream, pesto, and chips, enhancing the festival atmosphere.
Various spaces for relaxation and experiences will be available throughout the venue. The healing zone will feature over 500 Helinox camping chairs, reminiscent of the Louvre Pyramid Square in France, providing comfort to DDP visitors. A photo zone inspired by the beach will allow guests to capture summer memories.
The festival will operate through pre-registration via Naver and on-site participation. Performance schedules and programs can be checked on the DDP website and official social media channels.
The foundation has extended the operating hours of the 'DDP Vacation' to 11 PM as part of Seoul's initiative to boost the nighttime economy.
Cha Kang-hee, the CEO, stated, 'This DDP Vacation is an urban summer festival where music, gourmet food, relaxation, and lifestyle are interconnected as a single experience. We aim to expand this into a nighttime cultural festival that encourages visitors to enjoy the DDP space and design content until late at night every year.'
