The maintenance is expected to continue until the end of this month.

This year’s Hwangryonggang Autumn Flower Festival will be held for nine days from the 7th to the 15th of next month. The theme is “From Jangseong.” It aims to present visitors with beautiful flowers and autumn stories that begin in Jangseong.

Experience programs are being prepared, including the “Flower Scent Sound Playground” where children can run and play, the “Pet Playground” for visitors with pets, and the “Flower Outing Campnic” to enjoy the festival atmosphere on the lawn. The nighttime scenery of Yongjakgyo Bridge and the festival site’s musical fountain is also highly anticipated.

The autumn flowers, which can be called the main attraction of the festival, have already been prepared early. The county sowed zinnias, globe amaranths, sunflowers, cosmos, and other flowers on a 91,800㎡ area along the lower reaches of Hwangryonggang and Jangseongho Lake.

The flowers are expected to start blooming from late this month and reach their peak from early to mid next month.

Through this riverside environmental maintenance, the overall festival environment will be beautified and made pleasant. The county will prune and cultivate the healing herb garden, Seosam Rose Tunnel, and other popular visitor spots to make the flowers look attractive.

The Point Garden, known as a photo spot, will be prepared by planting autumn flowers, and the Flower Tunnel, which is expected to attract many visitors during the festival, will be maintained for nighttime scenery and surrounding cleanup.

A county official said, “Since we have gone through the rainy season and heatwave, we plan to pay attention to pest control such as white moths and scale insects,” adding, “We will do our best to present beautiful scenery during the festival period.”
