Yangju Cheonilhong Autumn Festa

The 2026 Yangju Gomphrena Autumn Festa will be held from September 26 to October 4 around Yangju Nari Farm at 729 Gwangsa-dong, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, with paid admission. Adults other than Yangju residents pay 5,000 won, while children, teenagers, and military personnel pay 3,000 won; the same amount will be refunded in Yangju Sarang Gift Certificates. It has not yet been announced whether advance reservations or ticket purchases are required. One confirmed change this year is that the event name has changed from the 2025 7th “Yangju Ten Million Gomphrena Festival” to the 2026 “Yangju Gomphrena Autumn Festa.”

The 2026 Yangju Gomphrena Autumn Festa has a different format from the 7th edition in 2025

The official 2026 event dates are September 26–27 and October 3–4, covering four weekend days. Separately from the festival period, Nari Farm will be open from September 18 to October 25, while flower-path busking and experience and market booths are scheduled to operate on weekends from September 26 to October 18.

At the 7th festival in 2025, a Flower Citizens Parade and opening ceremony were held on September 26, with about 400 local residents from 12 eup, myeon, and dong areas and professional performance teams marching approximately 2 km. The 2026 program includes an opening performance, the Yangju Municipal Performing Arts Troupe, the Yangju Sonori Arts Troupe, Yangju funeral bier and Hoedaji folk songs, and a barrier-free park music concert, so the schedule should be planned around a format different from the parade confirmed last year.

Take Bus 80 from Exit 2 of Yangju Station to Nari Farm

For public transportation, exit at Exit 2 of Yangju Station on Line 1, walk to the bus stop across the road, then take Bus 80 and get off at the Yangju Nari Farm stop. Since the official directions provide the station, exit, bus number, and stop together, simply enter “Yangju Nari Farm” in a map app.

Parking at the venue is limited, so public transportation is recommended. Temporary parking lots are listed as Lot 1 at 811 Gwangsa-dong, Lot 2 at 812 Gwangsa-dong, Lot 3 at 699 Gwangsa-dong, and Lot 4 at 710 Gwangsa-dong. All four are in Gwangsa-dong, Yangju-si, but 2026 parking fees have not been announced.

Detailed start and end times for the 2026 performances and last-bus information have not yet been released, so it is impossible to confirm whether a day trip is feasible. Accordingly, do not currently plan on it as a definite day trip; it is safer to check the performance schedule and the last bus toward Yangju Station before departing.

Choose performances and markets among seven-colored gomphrena and more than 20 types of autumn flowers

In 2026, Nari Farm will feature seven colors of gomphrena with different flower meanings, along with more than 20 types of autumn flowers. In addition to simply viewing the flower fields, visitors can check out the Mom Katuri Sing-Along Show, Bubble Magic Show, flower-path busking, cultural and artistic performances, and spatial displays throughout the farm.

Experience and market booths are scheduled to operate on weekends from September 26 to October 18. Prices and card payment availability at the booths have not been announced. Admission is 5,000 won for adults and 3,000 won for children, teenagers, and military personnel, for both Yangju residents and outside visitors. Yangju Sarang Gift Certificates can be used only at participating merchants.

Even without knowing Korean, viewing the flower fields and taking photos can be included in your itinerary, but the published information does not confirm whether English information desks, English leaflets, or interpretation services are available. The marathon is a separate additional event, with assembly at Yangju Nari Park at 8:00 a.m. on October 5. Registration for the 10 km, 5 km, and 20 km events runs from August 19 to October 2.

The 5,000-won refund is an advantage, but English and route information should be checked before departure

The 5,000-won adult admission fee and the 3,000-won admission fee for children, teenagers, and military personnel are each refunded in the same amount through Yangju Sarang Gift Certificates, which can be used only at participating merchants. Travelers who want to see flower-path busking or markets at a specific time should note that daily performance times for 2026 have not yet been announced. The combination of performances, busking, and recreation may also be unsuitable for visitors seeking a quiet experience.

A barrier-free park music concert is included in the program, but details about wheelchair and stroller routes and rental availability have not been confirmed. Information about rainy-weather operations, cancellations, refunds, restroom and information-desk locations, and multilingual assistance has also not been released. Travelers who need this information should call 031-8082-5655 to confirm before visiting on September 26.

Before visiting, check the official schedule for performance start and end times and rainy-weather operations. Before traveling, also check Bus 80 service and whether the temporary parking lots are available.
