The Gimcheon Gimbap Festival in North Gyeongsang Province turns Korea’s beloved picnic food into a cultural celebration. Inspired by the city’s name sounding like Gimbap Cheonguk (“Gimbap Heaven”), the festival debuted in 2024 with over 100,000 visitors.
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.
