Spring Flower Garden Along the Bukhangang River—Greatly Expanded Planting Area

This year’s festival will be themed "A Dazzling Voyage of Flowers on Blue Waves." Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Bukhangang River, a vast spring garden will be created with a spectacular display of poppies, Iceland poppies, delphiniums, lobelias, coleus, and cockscombs in full bloom.

In particular, the planting area has been expanded by 28,790 square meters compared to last spring to offer visitors an even broader and more vibrant spectacle. As a result, an unprecedentedly large flower garden spanning a total of 109,500 square meters (approximately 33,182 pyeong) will be established, with unique photo zones set up throughout Jarasum for creating beautiful memories.

There are also plenty of benefits for the convenience and enjoyment of visitors. Starting this year, new food booths (snacks) will be installed near the Jaranaru dock, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of foods alongside the flower viewing.

The festival will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Residents of Gapyeong County and children under five can enter for free. Out-of-county tourists pay an admission fee of 7,000 won and receive 5,000 won back in the form of the Gapyeong Love Gift Certificate. This certificate can be used like cash at agricultural product sales booths within the festival, the newly established snack booths, as well as local restaurants and cafes in Gapyeong.
