On the second Saturday and Sunday of every month, the market hosts varying performances by young artists, a flea market, events for citizens, and experience programs for children.

Pyeonghwa Market was opened in 1975 and is a Jangok-type small market. Since more than 30 years ago, the number of shops selling chicken intestines has increased, and the fried gizzard alley has become one of the unique attractions of Daegu. The market in the chicken gizzard alley dates back to a whole chicken restaurant, Sama Chicken. The owner, who was always worried about what to do with so many leftover chicken gizzards from selling only other parts of a chicken, accidentally started frying chicken gizzards and serving them. The response from the customers was surprisingly good. The chicken gizzard dish she started offering was cheap and delicious, and word of mouth started to spread. After that, as fried chicken dishes such as chicken gizzards, fried chickens, seasoned chickens, steamed chickens, and chicken feet began to appear in earnest, alleys of Daegu-style chicken gizzards served with alcohol appeared.
