On the 16th, the Sokcho City Museum will hold a variety of seasonal customs experience events for the whole family to enjoy together to celebrate the winter solstice, our traditional holiday.

The event will be held on the weekend ahead of the winter solstice [12.22 (Friday)] for the participation of many citizens and tourists, and the Sokcho City Museum holds various winter solstice events every year to reflect on the customs that have been practiced in the sense of defeating misfortune and bringing good luck.

This year, because it is a winter camp in ⁕, various folk experience events such as sharing red bean syrup rice cakes instead of red bean porridge, making cups of Gilsangmunyang to bring blessings, making tar sundae, and making winter solstice amulets, and exciting pungmul performances by the Sokcho City Pungmul Group will be held.

In the early November of the lunar calendar, Dongji is called Aedongji in the middle of the year, and Laborji in the late year. On Dongji, there is a custom of eating red bean porridge with neighbors, and red bean porridge is poured in the middle of the year and the working place, but red bean rice cakes are eaten without red bean porridge in the middle of the year.

Sokcho City expects many citizens to learn wisdom and wisdom by learning about the play and culture that our ancestors enjoyed during the winter solstice through winter solstice events, and to reflect on the meaning of ending the year and entering the next year.
