Gyeongnam Arboretum will hold its first-ever Autumn Foliage Festival from October 25 to November 16, inviting visitors to experience the vibrant beauty of the season through exhibitions, workshops, and hands-on family programs.

The festival will transform the arboretum into a colorful autumn landscape, filled with maple leaves and seasonal flowers.

Visitors can enjoy a bonsai exhibition, a chrysanthemum showcase, and a range of weekend experiential programs designed for all ages.

Activities include writing wishes on maple-shaped tags, creating maple leaf postcards, and crafting leaf-inspired necklaces and hairpins—allowing participants to connect with nature and creativity.

No reservation is required to attend, though participation in experience programs will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on weekends.

Known for its harmony of diverse trees and seasonal flowers, Gyeongnam Arboretum has become one of the region’s most loved autumn destinations.
