Daein Market & Night Market
대인시장
One of Gwangju's largest traditional markets. On weekend nights, the art night market offers a range of snacks and creative stalls.
Daein Market is a long-established traditional market in Gwangju. By day it sells seafood, farm produce and Korean side dishes. Many shops here have been transformed in collaboration with shopkeepers and artists, and there are murals throughout. On weekend evenings, the "Daein Art Night Market" takes place, offering snacks such as yukhoe (raw beef), grilled skewers and pancakes, along with handicraft stalls and small performances. The night market's dates and times change with the seasons, so check the official announcements before you go. It's about a 10-minute walk from the Asia Culture Center.
