The festival, held at the 88 Lawn Plaza in the district’s Olympic Park, will begin with a spectacular drone show involving 900 drones, followed by media art and contemporary dance performances. The opening program includes a rendition of “O Fortuna” by the Songpa District Symphony Orchestra, as well as performances by tenor singers Yoon Jung-soo, Jin Sung-won, and Lee Dong-myung.
