The Gwangju Busking World Cup is an international street-performance music festival held around Chungjang-ro in Dong-gu, Gwangju. A competition-style festival where domestic and foreign street performers present varied music, it offers stages of varied genres—vocal, band, acoustic, performance. Teams pass preliminaries and the main round to decide the final champion in the finals, with winners chosen by expert judges. Held across downtown Gwangju, it is an international cultural event promoting arts revitalization using urban space, spreading street-performance culture, and contributing to global cultural exchange and tourism.
