Getting there

About

A reading festival for Korea's September 'Month of Reading', themed 'Open the book, move the body!'. The plaza at the Dongdaemun-gu Office hosts reading fitness sessions, folk tales turned into physical games, and an open-air library, while the auditorium runs library-network booths from a reading adventure squad to a mini sports day and a 'reading health check'. Children's musicals, a bubble show, and busking round it out. Free, aimed squarely at families, 12:00–17:00.

Description translated from official Korean tourism data. Details can change — verify with the organizer before you go.
