Daegu, with a firm image as a performing culture city, provides attractions and enjoyment to people through their various summer festivals in July.
There would also be a folk and acoustic music festival where music that stimulates the analogue emotions amidst the K-POP fever will be showcased.



There would be performances of Korea’s famous singers, busking, and acoustic flea markets in the event location of this festival. The folk song contest would be held within the festival period where amateur artists and ordinary people can participate.
