It has been reborn as a new "City-type Street Performing Arts Festival" with citizens. In addition, the composition of the "Street Performing Arts Festival," which takes advantage of the characteristics of the space, such as exchanges and collaborations between various performing arts genres, expansion of programs that can be enjoyed as a family unit, enhancement of citizens' participation, and participation of central street residents, presents a new model of the city festival as a downtown art crisis. It has established itself as a true citizen-participating city street performing arts festival created by combining Daegu's rich cultural and artistic human infrastructure, passionate participation of citizens, and the daily space of 2.6 million citizens in Jungang-ro.

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.
