Participants dressed in unique makeup and colors departed from the Yeongdeok Office of Education in Yeongdeok-eup, passed through Jungang-ro in the town, and performed a street performance for about 40 minutes to Deokgokcheon Stream, announcing the start of the Upcycling Art Festa and creating a festive atmosphere.

Next, a variety of programs that people of all ages and genders can enjoy, including a DJ festival and random play dance, will be held in Deokgokcheon, and the Life and Culture Ordinance proclamation ceremony will be held to add meaning.

In addition to the opening parade, this year’s Upcycling Art Festa will feature a variety of exhibitions, performances, and experience programs over 9 days.

The works introduced in the upcycling art exhibition were created using recycled materials by about 500 people, including schools, social groups, village residents, and professional artists, and are expected to colorfully decorate the area along the Deokgok Stream.

In addition, various eco-friendly experience programs with the theme of environmental protection, such as upcycling silk screen, tow making, wishing lighthouse making, and eco bag making, will be held throughout the festival period.

In addition, eco-friendly food trucks that do not use disposable products and the Yeongdeok (Ana) Sea Flea Market, a sharing market where families can participate, will also be held.

In particular, this year, the ‘Yeongdeok Fun Box Race’, which involves running downhill in a non-powered car made from recycled materials, will be held on November 2nd (exhibition) and 3rd (main race).

This car competition, held on the hill next to Yeongdeok Yaseong Elementary School, is a special event that reflects the identity of ‘upcycling’, which means ‘upcycling’ rather than recycling, and 18 teams from all over the country compete with ingenious cars they have individually manufactured. It happens.

The Yeongdeok Upcycling Art Festa will be held in the Deokgok Stream area (about 200 meters along Deokgok Road) for 9 days from the 26th of this month to the 3rd of next month.
