During the Daejeon Midnight Festival, traffic will be controlled in the Jungang-ro area. Vehicle traffic will be restricted on major roads near the festival grounds from 5 AM on August 6th to midnight on August 17th, and the 1km section from Daejeon Station to the former Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Office will be a car-free zone from August 8th to August 16th. Therefore, we highly recommend using public transportation. The Daejeon subway will extend its operating hours until 1 AM, and city buses will be rerouted. It's a good idea to check traffic information in advance using the Daejeon Transportation Information Center app or the ITS traffic signal monitoring system. If you must use a private car, you can use the underground shopping mall parking lot in front of the Jung-gu Office, the Jung-gu public parking lot, the Dong-gu public parking lot, parking lots around subway stations, and parking lots around Chungnam National University. You can also use the Kkumdori Jungang-ro circular train to move comfortably around the festival site.
