Gwangbok-ro Winter Light Tree Festival

Busan's signature tree Festival returns to brighten winter with dazzling lights inspired by K-culture.

Throughout the Festival, a variety of street events will include busking by Busan musicians and participatory lighting ceremonies where residents can switch on the tree lights themselves.
