This will be of no interest to those not in Suncheon, but if you live here you might want to check out the lantern festival (순천동천유등축제) coming on Sunday at 7:00 pm. It is prominently advertised this year with the lantern in the middle of the Medical Rotary (의료원로터리, near McDonald's). It's to celebrate Buddha's birthday (부처님오신날), which actually falls on May 2nd this year, and has a small parade along the river as well as a collection of a few lanterns. It's hard to write how small this festival actually is without sounding obnoxiously modest, but it is quite tiny. I stumbled upon it last year, though, and enjoyed the fireworks and the walk along the river. It will be held at Subyeon Park (수변공원), just in front of 탑웨딩홀.
