Baengnyeon Night Market (Return of the Catfish)

By day, Baengnyeon Market is a traditional market steeped in history; by night, it transforms into a nighttime playground filled with music, games, and food. Recognized as the nation’s best culture and tourism-oriented market in 2025, its signature night market, “Baengnyeon Night,” returns from August 7 to 8, 2026 under the theme “Return of the Catfish.” Bingo games and performance events take place beneath the giant mirror ball at the center of the venue, while DJing, game programs, and events continue throughout each zone. Songs selected directly by visitors through “Baengnyeon Song Requests” play in the market alleys, and vouchers earned by verifying purchase receipts and playing the catfish game can be used for various events and cocktails. “Baengnyeon Booking,” where visitors can naturally mingle with new teams on site, is also offered. The food zone combines mobile food stalls with late-night menus from market shops, offering a variety of foods unique to Baengnyeon Market. Visitors listen to music, join games, enjoy food, and move throughout the market alleys, providing a different kind of fun from a conventional stage-centered festival.
