The 27th Hampyeong Moaksan Flower Festival, a major autumn event in Hampyeong County, South Jeolla Province, will kick off on September 16.
Hampyeong County announced on September 8 that the festival will take place from September 16 to 20 at Haebomyeon Flower Park, featuring a variety of hands-on programs for visitors.
This year's festival is designed to enhance visitor engagement by not only showcasing the scenic beauty of the Moaksan area but also incorporating activities such as hiking, planting flowers, and supporting local businesses.
During the festival, an event called 'Reach the Summit of Moaksan' will be held. Visitors who climb to the summit and take a verification photo at designated booths will receive flower-themed souvenirs.
To encourage spending in the local economy, a receipt verification event will be available. Visitors who spend over 10,000 won at the festival site or local shops on the same day can validate their receipts to participate in a lottery for prizes, including local agricultural products.
The festival will also feature a 'Flower Promise Day,' where visitors can plant flower bulbs and receive bulbs and souvenirs in return.
A 'Flower Path Shuttle Bus' will operate to facilitate visitor movement, connecting the festival site with local restaurants and shops.
Additionally, programs utilizing the natural environment of Moaksan, such as forest outings and wish ribbon tying along hiking trails, will be available throughout the festival.
Lee Nam-o, the mayor of Hampyeong County, stated, "This year's Flower Festival is prepared to allow visitors to not only enjoy the flowers but also actively participate and explore various areas. I hope everyone can savor the autumn atmosphere at Moaksan and create special memories through diverse experiences."
The 27th Hampyeong Moaksan Flower Festival will run from September 16 to 20 at Haebomyeon Flower Park, with plans to host participatory events linking festival programs with local businesses to enhance visitor stays and local spending.
