"The Light of Cheonggyecheon," which first illuminated Seoul's winter nights in 2015, will take place at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul for 21 days from December 11 to 31, marking its twelfth winter. This year, under the theme "Light Up Tomorrow," the festival is presented anew as a storytelling event that tells the stories of citizens' dreams and hopes through light. In addition to the unique Christmas trees, photo zones, and Dream Light Train (mini-train) rides that have been popular every year, this year's event will screen videos featuring dream drawings by child artists with developmental disabilities and dream messages sent by citizens on large LED screens. The festival will light up Cheonggye Plaza daily from 6 PM to 10 PM, and admission is free for everyone.
