This exhibition is designed to offer citizens and tourists beautiful autumn memories and a healing space provided by agriculture. The event will officially begin with a lighting ceremony at 6 p.m. on October 23, the day before the opening.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Samcheok Chrysanthemum Exhibition will feature a total of 10,500 chrysanthemum works, including chrysanthemum sculptures and multi-flower arrangements, to captivate visitors. There will also be booths promoting and selling local agricultural specialties, hands-on booths where visitors can experience the scent of chrysanthemums, and a variety of street performances by local performance clubs.

The exhibition area is divided into three zones. Zone 1 will showcase works themed around animals and healing gardens, creating a space where visitors of all ages can take photos and enjoy themselves. Zone 2 will serve as the Samcheok City promotional zone, featuring a large chrysanthemum sculpture depicting General Isabu, a prominent historical figure from Samcheok who has recently drawn attention due to the Dokdo issue. Zone 3 will be a kids' zone for children, presenting chrysanthemum artworks inspired by popular characters such as 'Frozen,' offering children a unique experience that stimulates their imagination alongside the flowers.

Meanwhile, the lighting ceremony on October 23 will feature a variety of cultural performances, including saxophone and Nanta drum performances, and Samcheok Mayor Park Sangsoo will personally announce the start of the chrysanthemum exhibition.
