Why yes, it’s another festival. It is summer in Korea after all.
We attended Daegu’s Colorful Festival last year, but, not quite certain how to navigate the festival and confused by the multitude of other festivals that seemed to be occurring at the same time on the same block (a year later, I’m still somewhat confused about this), we spent much of our time wandering the streets aimlessly. Outside of the parades that materialized in front of us while we stood on a street corner studying a Korean map, it didn’t really feel as if we had fully experienced all the festival had to offer.
This year we skipped watching the parades and participating in the city’s attempt to break the world record for the largest (longest?) chalk art drawing and instead focused on the artistic side of things. It just so happened that most of the artsy stuff occurred in a shady park lined with food stalls.
