1. What kind of festival is the Daejeon Midnight Festival?
The Daejeon Midnight Festival is Daejeon's signature summer nighttime festival. Its name is inspired by the lyric "Daejeon Bleu" from the 1956 pop song "Daejeon Blues," "Daejeon Bleu 50." With the catchphrase "Daejeon that never sleeps, endless fun," the 1km stretch from Daejeon Station to the former South Chungcheong Provincial Office is car-free, offering performances and hands-on experiences in themed zones that connect the past, present, and future.
