The 14th Gunsan Time Travel Festival drew a record 155,000-plus visitors during its run from October 2 to 5 at the Time Travel Village in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, the city said on October 6. Newsis reported on the final day of the event that interest in the 1930s-themed festival was high. [ 1 , 2 ]
According to the city, Jeollabuk-do's festival visitor count put attendance at about 155,000, roughly 20,000 more than the 135,000 recorded last year. Visitors from outside Gunsan made up 57 percent of the total, which the city said showed that the festival's content was drawing people from beyond the city. [ 2 ]
The city said the opening featured a performance by the Navy military band and honor guard and a “global modern flash mob” that interpreted the various cultures present in 1930s Gunsan. Other programmes included the “Gunsan Port Night Pier Contest,” which reworked period music and dress, and a “time travel concert” with performances by Lyn, Highkey, Shin Ye-young, At Heart, Jeong Seo-joo and Yada. [ 2 ]
Each afternoon at 3:05, the festival reenacted the independence cries heard in Gunsan under the title “All of Us, 3.5 Manse.” It also ran a modern-era version of the police-and-robber game called the “1919 Taegukgi Raising Operation” and a “Catch It! Mission Payphone” activity, alongside food stalls and a flea market at the Modern History Museum and Baengnyeon Square. [ 2 ]
The city said a “Gunsan Bread Festa” organised with small businesses introduced local bread and contributed to expanding sales channels and reviving the local economy. Gunsan Mayor Kim Jae-joon said, “I sincerely thank the many visitors and citizens who came to the festival,” and added that the city would plan varied and substantial programmes next year so the event can develop into one everyone can enjoy.

Por qué importa
The festival is presented by the city and its provincial government as Gunsan's signature tourism draw, and organisers linked it to spending by small businesses and food vendors in the area. The visitor count, measured by Jeollabuk-do, is the measure local officials are using to judge whether the event is growing beyond the city's own residents.
