The border village was the summit's venue.

The hour-long event, called the "peace performance," will start at 7 p.m. involving artists from South Korea, the U.S., Japan and China.

Some 500 guests will attend including foreign diplomats stationed in Seoul, officials from the UN Command Military Armistice Commission and residents of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.

The Unification Ministry, the city of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province are hosting the anniversary event, but North Korea is not taking part amid stalled cross-border relations.

Seoul notified Pyongyang about the event through their liaison office early this week but stopped short of extending an invitation. North Korea is not known to have responded.
