Yangyang-gun announced that the "2024 Yangyang Chrysanthemum Festival" will be extended until October 27.

The festival was scheduled to be held until the 20th, but the county extended the festival period to October 27, considering that chrysanthemums have recently begun to bloom in earnest and that the festival venue is constantly attracting visitors with various attractions and experiences.

With October 20, 26 and 27 as small pop-up days, the local food day event with Yangyang Haetmi will be held with the Yangyang County branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, four regional agricultural cooperatives, and the Yangyang County New Vitality Plus Business Group.

The event also features a variety of interesting experiences, including rice presentation events, free tasting of rice cakes, tasting chrysanthemum tea, making chrysanthemum gardens, and making rock brush pots, as well as music performances to revive the atmosphere of the festival venue, including local food markets, free Korean money tasting, and bands, musical instruments, and vocal music.

The Yangyang Chrysanthemum Festival, which marks its first anniversary this year, is held at the Yangyang-gun Agricultural Technology Center on October 3 to promote local cultural and tourism resources with beautiful chrysanthemum-themed tourism products and to create income for local farmers and revitalize agriculture and rural areas.

In addition to exhibitions of chrysanthemums and sculptures, exhibitions of chrysanthemum bonsai research exhibitions, flower markets, farmers markets that sell agricultural products and handicrafts, free tasting to promote Korean money consumption, ecological photography exhibitions, food trucks, and stage performances were operated.
