Sancheong-gun to Host the 4th Flower Moss Festival After 4 Years

Saengcho-myeon, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam, will hold the "4th Sancheong Saengcho International Sculpture Park Flower Moss Festival" from the 14th to the 28th at the Saengcho International Sculpture Park area.

Now in its 4th year, the Flower Moss Festival is welcoming visitors again after four years due to the impact of COVID-19. This year’s festival is composed of various programs including exhibitions, hands-on events, performances, and a marketplace for local agricultural specialties, capturing the attention of visitors.

The 25,000㎡ park site is in full bloom with vibrant flower moss, creating the illusion of standing in an outdoor art gallery carpeted in pink. Especially, reflecting the hometown of former Vietnam national football team coach Park Hang-seo, some of the flower moss is arranged in the shape of a soccer ball, highlighting Saengcho as a soccer town even more.
