Yangjae Stream cherry blossom and lantern festival

The 7th Annual Yangjae Stream Cherry Blossom and Lantern Festival takes place April 3 to 27, 2025, in Seoul. The event features games for children, crafts, live music, food trucks, and beautiful natural scenery. Special attractions include an outdoor cinema, fireworks, and more. Lined with cherry blossom trees, Yangjae Stream offers a more relaxed setting for enjoying nature, walking, and cycling.

Cherry blossoms suffered some heavy wind and rains during their blossoming and so there’s no a whole lot left at this point. Still, a fantastic festival to attend.
