This year's tulip festival, under the slogan "Enjoy, Feel, and Delight in the Colorful Tulips," features over one million tulips of more than 30 varieties including Apeldoorn, known as the "Confession of Love," and 1,000 carnation camellias called Hongsaja camellia, blooming to allow visitors to fully appreciate the vivid and rich primary colors of the flowers.

Additionally, Daegwang Beach, the longest beach in Korea stretching 12 km and certified with the Blue Flag by the International Environmental Education Foundation, is located right next to the festival site. The view of the horizon from the beach and the whispering sound of the waves create a unique harmony with the tulips, promising visitors to the Island Tulip Festival a memorable experience unlike anywhere else in the country.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "One million diverse tulip flowers are ready to welcome you. We hope everyone will have a healing time by visiting the Shinan Tulip Festival, one of Korea's representative spring flower festivals."
