The 'Crocosmia Flower Festival' was originally scheduled to run from the 9th of this month to the 1st of next month, but recently, with daily new COVID-19 cases exceeding 1,600, the entry into the 4th wave in the metropolitan area, as well as sporadic cluster infections occurring in regions outside the metropolitan area and in Jeonnam, the nation is facing a critical quarantine crisis.

Accordingly, Sinan-gun decided to actively participate in the national quarantine efforts by fully canceling the 'Crocosmia Flower Festival' and also completely canceling the 'Island Daylily Festival' scheduled to be held in the Hongdo area of Sinan-gun starting from the 16th.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "Although it is regrettable that the festival has been canceled, it was an unavoidable decision to block the spread of community infections and to protect the lives and safety of the people," and added, "I hope that all citizens will work together so that COVID-19 can end early."
