Jeonju's representative art festival unfolds in the season of abundant fruition in the area of Palbok-dong.
The "2025 Jeonju Arts Frenzy," organized by the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, will take place from the 17th to the 19th for three days with the theme "The city's streets and spaces become the stage" at the Palbok Art Factory.
This event, held in conjunction with the Jeonju Fiesta and the Future Culture Festival, has been showcasing various performances and projects by domestic and international artists every year since its debut in 2023. Last year, it attracted nationwide attention with over 170 teams applying through official submissions, and this year, 35 out of over 200 teams were selected.
The joint opening ceremony on the 17th under the theme "Leap! Jeonju, Resound! Frenzy" will feature a performance combining tradition and the future. Following this, on the 18th and 19th, various genres of street arts such as circus, mime, magic, music, traditional performances, dance, theater, media art, and public art will come together with citizens to transform the city into a giant festival stage.
The 3rd Jeonju Arts Frenzy is presenting a new model of civil-government cooperation with the art planning group "Jangdan" and the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, aiming for a "genuine local festival created together" with the participation of artists nationwide as well as ESG committees, resident committees, and Palbok-dong businesses.
Ha Hyeong-rae, head of the art planning group, said, "Through a festival created by everyone, we will ensure that everyone can enjoy happiness in the public space where everyone gathers."
