80,000 Visitors Attend 'Gyeonggi-do Cheong Spring Flower Festival'... Colorful Events Draw Attention

'Spring Flower Festival' held at the old Gyeonggi Provincial Government Building

Gyeonggi Province held the '37th Gyeonggi Provincial Government Spring Flower Festival' from the 7th to the 9th at the old Gyeonggi Provincial Government building area in Paldal-gu, Suwon City, for the first time in four years, attracting around 80,000 visitors.

Although there were concerns about the festival lacking cherry blossoms due to an earlier-than-usual bloom, the festival captivated visitors with various cultural performances such as sales booths and diverse experience booths to revitalize the local commercial district, a collaboration between Pops Ensemble and Gugak Sinawi, special performances by seven Gyeonggi youth teams, and indie musician concerts.

In particular, facilities for visitor convenience such as a pet playground to promote pet adoption culture, an eco-friendly children's playground, bean bag chairs, parasols, and shade tents received positive responses. By not operating a food market and conducting eco-friendly campaigns, the amount of waste generated was reduced to half compared to previous festivals, establishing it as an eco-friendly festival.

Additionally, the province contributed to revitalizing the surrounding commercial district by operating promotional booths for provincial administration, various experience booths, sales and exhibition booths for social enterprises and self-support enterprises, and a direct transaction market by NongHyup.

On the last day of the festival, the 9th, an indie musician concert was held on the main stage in the afternoon.

Shim Young-rin, Director of the General Affairs Division of the province, expressed, "This festival was a meaningful event that made us feel the importance of family and the environment more deeply, as a result of thorough safety management, modest and eco-friendly preparation, and small-scale cultural enjoyment for families."

The province plans to regularly hold events such as the Munho-ri River Market, the Gyeonggi Opportunity Market featuring Suwon Mom Cafe 'Napulnapul', and the NongHyup direct transaction agricultural products market in the old government building area.
