Eunpyeong-gu 'Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival' Canceled

Cancellation of the 2020 Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival Due to COVID-19 Transmission Concerns

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that due to the COVID-19 infectious disease crisis level remaining at 'serious,' it has decided to cancel the 2020 Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival to prevent the spread and ensure the safety of residents and visitors to the Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Path.

The 2020 Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival was planned for early April, but as the COVID-19 situation prolonged, it was judged difficult to hold large-scale festivals and events, leading to the decision for a full cancellation.

Regardless of the official cancellation of the 2020 Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival, many residents and visitors are expected to visit Bulgwangcheon during the cherry blossom blooming season.

Accordingly, Eunpyeong-gu requests that people refrain from visiting Bulgwangcheon as much as possible, and if visits are unavoidable, it will recommend wearing masks and maintaining safe distances.

Additionally, disinfection and sanitation will be strengthened around shops, restaurants, sidewalks, and other areas along the Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Path, and cooperation will be requested for enhanced self-disinfection at businesses.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “To end COVID-19, although it may be frustrating, please refrain from visiting Bulgwangcheon as much as possible. If visits are unavoidable, please wear masks, maintain safe distances, and protect yourself and your neighbors from COVID-19 infection by practicing mature etiquette to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
