2026 Guri Cosmos Festival Schedule · Fireworks Show · Parking, Before Visiting Guri Hangang Citizen’s Park with Kids

An autumn flower festival is held in the cosmos flower garden along the Han River 🌸

The 2026 Guri Cosmos Festival will be held at Guri Hangang Citizen’s Park (구리한강시민공원) for three days during the Hangeul Day holiday, from October 9 (Fri) to 11 (Sun).

It opens tomorrow!

I’ve summarized the official festival website, leaflet, and city press releases from October 2 to 7.

🎪 About the Festival

This is an autumn flower festival hosted by Guri City and organized by the Guri Culture Center. This year’s slogan is Come to Guri for Flower Healing ON.

The city has decorated 15 flower beds and pots and 9 photo zones with 30,000 seasonal flowers of 10 varieties including zinnias, and 1,000 chrysanthemums, all grown at the city nursery.

At the same park, the 20th Guri Lifelong Learning Festival will also be held over the same three days. The theme is ‘Guri ON, Switch On the Power of Learning!’

✨ What’s Happening When?

Here is the main stage schedule, based on the official website and leaflet.

The opening ceremony is on the evening of the second day (the 10th), and the first evening is the Eve Festival.

The Fireworks Show is listed at the end of the closing performance on the 11th. The exact time is not specified.

In addition to the main stage, there will be busking stages by local artists throughout the festival.

The Lifelong Learning Awards Ceremony is separately listed in the city press release as 15:30 on the 9th.

🪁 Activities to Try with Kids

At the city booths, there will be kite flying experiences, temple electric car tea ceremonies, and a national student art contest.

The Lifelong Learning Festival booths will vary slightly each day.

These are listed as ‘planned programs’ on the website and may change on site. No information on activity fees is provided.

There will also be sister city agricultural product sales booths from Gongju, Danyang, Ulleung, Sunchang, and Hwacheon.

🍢 Food & Facilities

Here’s what’s marked on the festival map in the leaflet.

There will also be a special photo exhibition at the park’s vine exhibition hall, running from October 2 to 30.

🚇 Getting There & Parking

The leaflet notes that congestion is expected, so public transportation is recommended.

Village buses from Line 8 Jangja Lake Park Station, Donggureung Station, and Guri Station will run extended routes to the park from the 9th to the 11th, 09:00~23:00.

The city advises that boarding near Jangja Lake Park Station is the closest. There will be a temporary village bus stop under the Godeok Topyeong Bridge.

There is also a free shuttle inside the festival grounds. The times and routes differ slightly between the website and the leaflet, so both are listed.

According to the leaflet, after 20:00, the shuttle only runs from Taegukgi Square toward the temporary village bus stop. If there are many cars leaving, the shuttle may end early.

Parking is at the paid parking lot at Guri Hangang Citizen’s Park. According to the leaflet, there are 4,211 spaces.

You can pay in advance via QR code. Gate 2 is not open to regular vehicles.

The website lists Guri City Hall (517 spaces) and Topyeong Elementary School (about 100 spaces) as free alternative parking lots. However, the operating dates are listed as ‘10.12 (Sat), 10.13 (Sun)’, which do not match this year’s festival, so please check with the city for current information.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids

If you’re going during the day, the morning of the 10th (Sat) features the children’s choir (11:00) and taekwondo demonstration (12:00) on stage. It’s a good time to combine with the activity booths.

Nursing rooms and stroller rental are marked on the website map.

Evening performances end at 21:30, and village buses run until 23:00.
