At this ‘Hydrangea Garden Flower Festival’, around 9,000 hydrangeas of about 10 species including Annabelle, Lime Ricky, Incredible, and Endless Summer, carpenter hydrangea, tea hydrangea, and star hydrangea can be seen.

From early flowering to the peak around July, you can enjoy colorful hydrangeas throughout the summer.

During the festival period, there are also abundant forest cultural performances such as a creative children’s song festival, a bubble performance, magic, a circus, and a busking night performance in the forest that you can enjoy with your family.

About 75,000 citizens have visited the forest of Wolasan since its opening until the end of May. Among them, 30,000 citizens participated in various experiences such as woodworking, which showed that the various experience programs were very popular.

In addition, the natural recreation forest in Jinju in the forest of Wolasan has been very popular since its opening on April 15, recording 95% of the usage rate during the entire period, including 100% on weekends and holidays.
