Yangsan City has directly managed tasks such as chrysanthemum cuttings, pinching, disbudding, training, and pest control, and the festival will showcase the results of a year’s efforts through these works.

The festival will feature around 300 bonsai pieces, including lotus-root, stone, and wooden bonsai, as well as 500 large chrysanthemum multi-flower and hanging sculptures. In addition, there will be 2,000 Fukujogiku chrysanthemums and 62,200 small chrysanthemums of various kinds, all beautifully arranged.

The sculptures will include 'Hoyit' and 'Ppuyong', the mascots for the 2026 Year of Visiting Yangsan, as well as themes inspired by Yangsan's traditional stories such as Sapryangmun, Blue Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and pagodas. There will also be amusement park-like themes with carousels and Ferris wheels, and winter-themed displays such as igloos, snowmen, and penguins.

Lighting will be used to allow visitors to enjoy the festival at night until 9 p.m. On Fridays through Sundays, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., a variety of performances including acoustic guitar and band concerts will be held on the main stage at Jungbu Square.

Throughout Hwangsan Park, a variety of autumn flowers, including cosmos, are in full bloom. At Jungbu Square, colorful zinnias are at their peak, and beside them, a gourd tunnel is filled with many types of hanging gourds, providing a scenic attraction. Toward the west square, purple verbena flowers are in full bloom next to a pavilion, and right beside them, a large colony of Kochia plants, each over one meter high, is turning a vivid red.

A city official stated, "We are doing our utmost to ensure the Yangsan Chrysanthemum Festival is held safely and beautifully," and added, "We hope many people will visit and experience the charm of the autumn festival firsthand."
