[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The area near Yongcheonsa Temple in Haebo-myeon, Hampyeong-gun is turning red with Lycoris flowers, and the 23rd Lycoris Grand Festival will be held for the first time in three years.

According to the county on the 13th, the 23rd Lycoris Grand Festival will take place over two days on the 17th and 18th at the Yongcheonsa area in Haebo-myeon, Hampyeong-gun, which is considered the world's largest Lycoris colony.

The Lycoris Park near Yongcheonsa Temple in Haebo-myeon creates a spectacular scene every September around Chuseok, as if a red carpet is spread from the entrance of Yongcheonsa Temple.

Organized by the Haebo-myeon Lycoris Grand Festival Promotion Committee (Chairman Lee Jae-eop), this event will be held together with the 31st Haebo-myeon Residents' Day, and is expected to become a place for community harmony.

The event will open on the 17th at 10 a.m. with a fusion Nanta performance, followed by the official opening declaration at 11 a.m. After the opening ceremony, a community harmony event and invited singer performances will be held on the lawn square.

On the morning of the 18th, there will be a Korean traditional music and 70s-80s nostalgic live concert, and in the afternoon, the final round of the Lycoris Song Festival will be held with 25 contestants who passed the preliminary round.

Additionally, a marketplace selling agricultural specialties (rice cakes, potatoes, Korean traditional sweets, cheese, etc.) operated by 14 companies and a food market will be available, along with various experience programs such as flower tea making, keyring making, and face painting.

Chairman Lee Jae-eop said, “Since the Lycoris Festival is welcoming guests for the first time in three years due to the impact of COVID-19, we have prepared with our best efforts,” and added, “We hope families, couples, and friends will create precious memories here this fall.”
