[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The representative rose festival of Seoul is returning this year.

The Jungnang Cultural Foundation under Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) announced that the ‘2023 Seoul Rose Festival’ will be held from May 13 to May 28 at Jungnang Rose Park (area along Jungnangcheon from Mukdonggyo to Gyeomjaegyo).

The Seoul Rose Festival, held on a large scale for the first time in three years due to COVID-19, will be held under the theme ‘Bloom Again Jungnang.’ To ensure the successful hosting of the festival, a first planning briefing session was held on the 17th at Jungnang-gu Office with about 100 residents.

At the briefing, this year’s unique strategies for the Seoul Rose Festival were announced. First, it is a festival led and participated in by Jungnang residents. Events such as a rose parade involving residents and the creation of a rose pop-up garden planned directly by residents will take place.

Additionally, efforts will be made to revitalize the local commercial district through the operation of the Rose Flower Street Flea Market and traditional market booths. Furthermore, an eco-friendly campaign will be conducted to transform the festival into an environmentally friendly event.

Yu Gyeong-ae, CEO of the Jungnang Cultural Foundation, said, “Since a large crowd is expected, we will do our best to prepare so that everyone can enjoy the festival safely.”

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope that residents, as the owners of the Seoul Rose Festival, can enjoy happiness and joy throughout the entire process of creating the festival together.”
