The Korea Tteokbokki Festival is a nationwide food festival held in Daegu. This festival is characterized by a combination of the sensibility of a food cart and a retro atmosphere under the theme of tteokbokki, which has been enjoyed by men and women of all ages. Tteokbokki brands and food trucks from various regions will participate in the event to showcase a variety of recipes and personalities, and visitors can experience from the taste of tteokbokki in memories to a new style of fusion tteokbokki. The street food cart culture of the 1980s and 1990s has been reinterpreted modernly to evoke the sensibility of those times, and at the same time, it approaches the present generation with new cultural contents. It is meaningful as a place to form empathy and exchange between generations beyond simply enjoying food, and it is a festival that serves as an opportunity to revitalize the local economy and spread the cultural charm of Daegu.

Let’s comprehend the spirit of no fare for failure with the ambitious “challenge” to love from the elaborate opening opera of Turandot. From the invited international opera Romeo et Juliette we learn that the undefeated “pure passion” will never yield in front of reality. How can’t we learn the “sacrifice” spirit for our love from the Italian Verdi opera La TraviataIt can’t be better to learn the love value of overcoming suffering and adversity “courage” from German Karlsruhe national opera Die Zauberflte.

In October 2008, the Daegu Art Power Plant was selected and promoted as a government project under the "Creating a Creative Belt for Culture and Art Using Local Modern Industrial Heritage."
By remodeling the early-year manufacturing warehouse (Suchang-dong, Jung-gu), which has meaning as a representative space for the overall industrial heritage as well as the tobacco industry in Korea, it is possible to build a foundation for fostering creative artists as well as the effect of urban regeneration and expansion of experimental art creation infrastructure.
The stadium's concept is "forest," which reflects the shape of trees forming a forest in an environment-friendly space and the basin topography surrounded by Biseulsan Mountain, Palgongsan Mountain, and Apsan Mountain. The name was changed from DGB Park to IM Bank Park in 2024.
It is a cultural and artistic complex space and was opened in 2017. The building has three floors in a total of three buildings from Building A to Building C. Building A is operated as a book cafe and a complex art space, Building B is a complex cultural space, and Building C is a management building. It was built in 1976 and used as the private residence of the employees of the then-Jae-Ang Office and KT&G Daegu's early-year manufacturing window, but was closed in 1996 and operated as a parking lot. In July 2015, it received a donation and was transferred to Daegu City, and the ownership began to be created as a cultural and complex art space, and it was opened in December 2017.

In February 1905 the National Debt Redemption Movement began as a nationwide campaign to repay the nation's debt by cutting down on tobacco and alcohol consumption, donating jewelry, and reducing a number of side dishes at meals. The movement was initiated by Seo Sangdon, a local businessman, in Daegu, which later on inspired the movements in other countries to repay foreign debts such as China in 1909, Mexico in 1938 and Vietnam in 1945. This campaign, with the spirits of Daegu citizens, also provided wisdom for overcoming the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis.
