Yeongwol Garden Industry Expo 2026 — Activities, Shows and the Free Shuttle

Explore gardens and try making activities
at this autumn event in Yeongwol.
The 2026 Korea Yeongwol Garden Industry Expo
(대한민국 영월 정원산업박람회) runs
October 2 (Fri)–11 (Sun)
at Cheongnyeongpowon, Dongseogang Garden.

The expo is under way!
At the October 8 source check,
the remaining dates were the 8th–11th.
Magic and glowing-bubble shows on the 9th–10th,
daily activities and a final-day walk remain on the schedule.
This guide uses county notices and timetables,
the provincial release and the garden’s visitor guide.

🎪 What kind of expo is it?

This year’s theme is
“Nature’s stories become a garden.”
The Korea Forest Service, Gangwon Province
and Yeongwol County jointly host
garden exhibitions and activities.

Artist Park Jeong-a’s “The King’s Garden”
tells the story of King Danjong and Queen Jeongsun.
The programme also introduces gardens made
by invited artists, students and local residents,
the Korea Garden Show, a garden industry exhibition
and garden plant displays.
Plan time separately for looking at the gardens
and trying hands-on activities.

✨ What’s on during the final days?

Here are the remaining daily programmes
from the timetable attached to the county notice.
Individual show start times are not listed there.

For the magic and bubble shows, check the 9th or 10th.
The 11th has no magic, bubble, film
or laser show listed.
Do not assume every performance
continues until the expo’s last day.

Film titles and screening times
need checking for the particular date.
The October 3 film notice covers an earlier screening;
it does not establish the film for the 9th or 10th.

🌿 What activities are there?

The timetable lists these activities as daily.
Pick the ones that interest your family first.

“Daily” describes the operating dates.
It does not establish walk-in access at any time,
free participation or suitability for every age.
Fees, age limits and registration methods
are absent from the timetable; ask on site.

🚌 Getting there and parking

Head to Cheongnyeongpowon, Dongseogang Garden,
at 433 Bangjeol-ri, Yeongwol-eup.
The provincial guide lists a free shuttle
between Donggang Riverside Park’s car park
and the expo grounds.

The frequency, first and last departures
and parking charges remain unconfirmed.
“Free” refers to the shuttle fare.
If staying for an evening show,
check the return shuttle time first.

👨‍👩‍👧 Visiting with kids

The garden’s regular visitor guide gives
09:00–21:00, last entry 20:00,
with temporarily free admission.
These are the garden’s general arrangements.
They do not mean expo booths and evening shows
operate continuously throughout those hours.

The facilities guide lists Cheongnyeong Forest’s
convenience store, café, restaurant, exhibition room,
gift shop and a garden information centre.
Check each facility’s expo-period opening hours separately.

Simple packed meals, such as gimbap, are permitted,
but cooking, drinking alcohol and smoking
inside the garden are prohibited.
Go over the rule against picking or collecting plants
with children before exploring.
