Nowon Moonlight Walk

This is a nighttime public art festival unique to Nowon-gu, held along Danghyeoncheon Stream, an eco-friendly ecological stream, displaying lantern and light sculpture works that combine popular appeal and artistry, and planning and operating content in which residents directly participate, such as the production and explanation of works. Having begun in 2014 as the 'Nowon Lantern Festival,' this festival was held in spring until 2019; in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it adopted the new name 'Nowon Moonlight Walk' with the goal of 'healing through art,' changed its timing to autumn, and continues to the present day. In addition to the main content—the exhibition of artistic lantern and light sculpture works—there are also 'Resident Participation Community Art,' in which artists and local residents are matched to produce and exhibit works; 'Moonlight Docents,' in which residents become docents and explain the works to visitors; and 'Weekend Culture and Arts Performances' featuring local artists.
