During the festival, visitors can write messages on postcards featuring Crocosmia flowers and place them in a mailbox for the "Slowly Delivered Postcard Writing" event, where postcards are delivered in winter. At the photo zone made with Crocosmia, visitors can take memorable photos for their SNS profiles, and at the souvenir shop installed at the entrance, flower-related souvenirs can be purchased.

In particular, during the festival, a special exhibition of premium bonsai small pine trees owned by the Bunjajeongwon will be held in the glass greenhouse within the garden, and the Evening Glow Art Museum will host the "Jasan-eobo Exhibition," allowing visitors to enjoy both flowers and art at once.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said at the opening ceremony, "As the years go by, more flowers bloom, and it has now become a flower festival representing summer in our country," adding, "I hope everyone overcomes the hot summer by enjoying the Crocosmia flowers."
