The 2024 Dongdaemun-gu Spring Flower Festival ‘Kkotpiuri’ will take place on the 30th and 31st, centered around Jang-an Cherry Blossom Road, as well as at Jungnangcheon 1st Sports Park and 3rd Sports Park.

On the 20th, the district installed photo zones and nighttime landscape lighting along the approximately 5km Jang-an Cherry Blossom Road, offering a romantic spring night experience to visitors and marking the beginning of the festival.

This year’s Dongdaemun-gu Spring Flower Festival highlights three main points. First, the expansion of the festival venues. To allow more citizens to enjoy various programs such as flea markets, food trucks, experience booths, and children’s playgrounds, the event space will be set up not only at Jungnangcheon 1st Sports Park but also at the 3rd Sports Park.

At the newly added Jungnangcheon 3rd Sports Park (2nd event site), visitors can enjoy media experience programs in collaboration with Dapsimni Film Media Art Center and watch movies screened on a large outdoor screen in the open air.

The second point is the food section. In line with the district’s core policy of creating a ‘carbon-neutral city,’ food booths will serve food in reusable containers, and users will be guided to return the used containers themselves. Some food trucks offer a 1,000 KRW discount on beverages if customers bring their personal tumblers.

The last highlight is the hosting of the ‘Turtle Marathon.’

On the second day of the festival, the 31st, at 11 a.m., the marathon will start from Jungnangcheon 1st Sports Park, go to the turnaround point at Jang-an Bridge, and return to the 1st Sports Park, covering a total distance of 4 km. The district expects this to be an inclusive event where people with and without disabilities walk and socialize together.

The official opening ceremony of the festival will be held on the 30th at the main stage of Jungnangcheon 1st Sports Park from 7 p.m., hosted by actor Lee Dong-jun, the promotional ambassador of Dongdaemun-gu. Celebratory performances by singers Jinseong, Ulala Session, and Wooyeon will continue until 9 p.m.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “We will thoroughly prepare everything from safety management to event operation so that residents can happily enjoy the spring flower festival in the flower city of Dongdaemun-gu.”
