On a mysterious night in October, very special guests travel back in time to Damyang, a town that never sleeps. The Damyang National Heritage Night Event unfolds stories of historical and cultural figures born in Damyang, centered around the Gwanbangjeolrim forest, the Gyeoksari Seokdanggan stone monument, and the Namsanri Five-Story Stone Pagoda. "Jeojatggeri Pangeuk," a performance that conveys the story of Seongbusa, who built the Gwanbangjeolrim forest, with love and laughter; a courtyard performance that stirs the heart with the music of Damyang's national treasure, Inalchi; a talk concert where nighttime stories and piano melodies flow beneath the Seokdanggan; and family games and performances where participants undertake missions related to Jeonwoo-chi, who honed his magic at the Damyang Yeon-dongsa temple – all these dynamic storytelling elements fill the venue. In addition, there are in-depth humanities lectures that explore the secrets of sound and the commonalities between (Hayan Nabi) Kim Jeong-ho, Seong-i Seong, and Jeoncheon-sang. The layered history and culture of Damyang unfold gently across the quiet Damyang night and the lush lawn. On a mysterious night in October, you can experience Damyang's unique charm.
