"Where the Wind Stays, Autumn Garden"... Ulsan City to Host the 2025 Taehwagang National Garden Autumn Festival

Rich Programs Including "Creating Our Family Garden" and "Sowing Spring Flower Seeds" from October 24 to 26

Flowers, lights, and music all in one place! This fall, Taehwagang will be transformed into a garden.

Ulsan City will host the "2025 Taehwagang National Garden Autumn Festival" under the theme "Where the Wind Stays, Autumn Garden" from October 24 to 26 at the Taehwagang National Garden.

This year's festival will feature a naturalistic garden by world-renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf, as well as chrysanthemums, pink muhly, pampas grass, cosmos, and silver grass, creating a spectacular display of autumn plants.

The opening ceremony will take place at 6:40 p.m. on October 24 at the special stage on the Salix Matsudana Lawn in Taehwagang National Garden. The event will begin with a musical performance, followed by an opening act featuring roses, and special autumn-themed performances by singers Kim Soyou and Wooyeon-i.

This year, in particular, the festival has significantly expanded hands-on programs that allow citizens to participate directly, instead of large-scale performances.

As a special event, "Creating Our Family Garden" will allow families or couples to form teams and plant greenery themselves to create a garden within the National Garden.

Participation will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through online registration on the Ulsan City website until October 22. The program will be held twice daily (at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) on both October 25 and 26.

To promote garden culture, there will also be hands-on programs for children and families, such as the "Novice Gardener Contest," "Happy Gardener," and "I Am a Little Gardener." "Sowing Spring Flower Seeds" and "Seed Bomb Toss" are events to prepare for next spring and will be available on-site to the first participants.

In addition, various citizen participation programs will be offered, including making silver grass bouquets, healing meditation, autumn flower field photo zones, a moving camera, and a flea market.

Related events such as the Ulsan A-Farm performance and horseback riding experiences will also be held.

At the festival entrance, a fall flower bed and large floral sculptures featuring "Floby," the promotional character for the 2028 Ulsan International Garden Expo, will enhance the atmosphere. In the evening, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., string lights will be installed around the chrysanthemum garden and along the zelkova tree path to maximize the autumn night garden ambiance.

An Ulsan City official stated, "Through this autumn festival, we hope to ensure the successful hosting of the 2028 Ulsan International Garden Expo and establish Ulsan as a beloved garden city and a popular destination for the public."
