Idle Space Reborn... Daehyeonsan Rose Festival to be Held on the 13th in Seongdong-gu

Healing Space in the City Utilizing Idle Space, Daehyeonsan Rose Garden to Host Rose Festival on the 13th

A Total of 46 Varieties and 48,000 Rose Bushes Form a Colony... Enjoyment Doubled with Beautiful Music and Performances

Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) announced that the ‘Daehyeonsan Rose Festival’ with music will be held at 11 a.m. on the 13th at Daehyeonsan, a village landmark in Geumho 1-ga-dong.

Since 2018, Seongdong-gu has been cultivating a rose garden by utilizing abandoned idle spaces. The Daehyeonsan Rose Garden serves as a healing space in the city, featuring a colony of 48,000 rose bushes across 46 varieties, allowing visitors to enjoy different natural scenes each season.

The Daehyeonsan Rose Festival was selected by residents through direct voting at the residents' general meeting and has established itself as a local festival planned and prepared by the residents themselves. Last year, the first spring rose festival and autumn concert were successfully held, becoming a great driving force for resident communication and harmony.

This year, to heal tired bodies and minds amid busy daily life, the festival will feature dazzling performances including the electronic string ensemble ‘Violet’, amateur band ‘BUT’, and ‘Marronnier’, known for the song ‘Cocktail Love’. Additionally, a community center program with guitar performances and children’s cup taiko performances, in which children and residents can directly participate, will add to the rich attractions.

The experience zone will have various booths such as face painting, art balloons, cotton candy, and rose flower pouch making. Furthermore, a flea market and a visiting safety experience center by Seongdong Life Safety Learning Center will also be prepared.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “I hope you come with your family to the second annual Rose Festival this year and have twice the happiness with splendid roses and beautiful music,” adding, “We will continue to strive to establish resident-led festivals.”
