Incheon's Gaehangjang, the city's old port district, will host a series of night tourism programs over the September weekends.
The Incheon Tourism Organization will hold the "2026 Jemulpo Moonlight Market" and "Drink & Draw Night" across the Gaehangjang area starting Saturday.
The events were selected under Incheon's first "night tourism content contest project," launched this year.
The Jemulpo Moonlight Market will run from Saturday through Sunday, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the central plaza of the Incheon Art Platform.
A total of 51 brands will take part, spanning handicrafts, vintage goods, fashion and accessories, lifestyle items and local brands, alongside hands-on programs such as crafting small items and gardening. DJ sets and jazz and band performances will also be featured.
Drink & Draw Night will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday at Zero Car Factory and on Sept. 19 at the outdoor plaza of Jayu Park.
Participants will join a night tour around the Gaehangjang area before taking part in an outdoor self-portrait drawing program.
A total of 120 self-portraits produced through the program will be exhibited at Brown Hands Gaehangno from Oct. 8 to Nov. 1. Organizers hope the exhibition will encourage participants to revisit the area and help link the event to nearby tourist attractions and local businesses.
Through the events, the Incheon Tourism Organization aims to connect the historical and cultural spaces of Gaehangjang with nighttime content. It also aims to extend the amount of time residents and tourists spend in the area and boost the local business district.
