How about spending a night out at a cool, green-lawned plaza to let off some steam?
The Seoul city government on Sunday said it will launch the "Seoul Culture Night" festival next month in various places across the city.
On Aug. 27, it will run "MT Seoul," where 100 preselected teams are allowed to set up tents in Seoul Plaza and stay overnight there. At the plaza, a flea market, a talk session and a movie screening will take place.
On the previous day, the city will run a number of tour programs in places like the Taereung National Training Center, where the Korean national team trains for the Olympics and the Seoul Square, where the popular TV series "Misaeng" was filmed.
From Aug. 17-26, anyone interested can join artist Eom Jung-ae in making big paper installations in the Seoul Innovation Park in northern Seoul and participating in a performance with the artist at Seoul Plaza.
At "World Music Night," which will take place Aug. 26-27, people can enjoy all sorts of traditional music from around the world.
All the programs are offered free of charge, but those interested in participating are advised to apply in advance, if necessary, through the "Mobile Seoul" app.
