D-23Daejeon Jung-gu Book Festival
The 2026 Jung-gu Book Festival opens Chapter 2, based on the diverse reading culture and presences within Jung-gu discovered at the 2025 festival, connecting those presences with one another and expanding relationships within the city. Chapter 2, "Connecting with One Another," is a festival that reads Jung-gu, where stories have accumulated over a long time, like one book, and follows the time accumulated in the alleys, memories left in the old downtown, people's lives, and the emotions held by the district to newly discover and connect the stories already existing in Jung-gu. This festival creates a place that connects people with people, places with memories, and the city with reading culture through books, and is composed as a time to share both the depth of Jung-gu's stories and the possibilities of reading culture.
