<Music-filled Summer Nights in Jeju>
・Period: Every July
・Festival Place: Jeju Tadong Beach Performance Venue
・Contact: 064-728-2714
The “Midsummer Night’s Art Festival,” where visitors can enjoy music on summer nights in Jeju, will be held again this year. Starting in 1994, this festival has taken charge of Jeju’s summer for over 20 years. The festival became so popular that there are even festival fans who have gone to the festival every year.
This is because the festival offers a wide range of genres in music such as classical, pop, jazz, rock, vocal music, chorus, and traditional Korean music. The average number of audience members per show reaches 1,000.
The festival is held at Tapdong Beach Theater, the best outdoor theater in Jeju. Since the ocean lies right behind the theater, it gives the impression that the theater is floating above the water. The atmosphere of the concerts is very casual. Couples on dates, families taking a night stroll with a baby in a stroller, and people in track suits come to the concerts.
During the past 20 extra years, renowned musicians are invited sometimes to play at the festival, but the festival proudly features local artists. As long as the musicians are passionate in music, the festival doesn’t mind if the artists are professionals or amateurs and invites them to introduce their music to Jeju citizens.
From Music to Dance, a Feast of Art That Will Make You Forget the Heat of Tropical Nights
The ‘Midsummer Night’s Art Festival’ rocked Tapdong Beach in Jeju for a week, drawing attendants from all generations and receiving a great deal of attention on social media. First held in 1994, the midsummer night’s art festival has become more than a one-time event, and has been praised for its various efforts to make connections between local art and culture and the public. As there are not many nighttime attractions in Jeju, the festival has seen a steady stream of visitors.
Offering activities that make people forget the heat of tropical nights, the festival not only brings in local residents but has also attracted a number of fans who travel to attend the festival every year. During the week, the festival is visited by people from all generations, including parents holding the hands of with their young children, tourists attracted by the music and senior citizens.
