2026 Yangsan Chrysanthemum Festival Dates, Night Viewing & Parking – Hwangsan Park with Kids
Hwangsan Park, stretched along the Nakdonggang River,
is about to turn into a sea of chrysanthemums 🌼
The 22nd Yangsan Chrysanthemum Festival (양산국화축제)
runs October 30 (Fri) – November 15 (Sun)
for 17 days around Central Plaza in Hwangsan Park.
I rechecked the Yangsan City press release (October 6)
and the Gyeongsangnam-do press releases
on October 10 to put this together.
🌼 What kind of festival is it?
It is Yangsan’s signature autumn festival,
showing chrysanthemum works
that the city grows and looks after itself.
The city says every piece went through the whole process,
from cuttings to pinching, disbudding, training
and pest control.
Here is the exhibition size from the press release.
| Exhibit | Number |
|---|---|
| Small chrysanthemums | About 51,000 |
| Large chrysanthemums (single-stem & multi-stem pots) | About 1,500 |
| Large multi-bloom & cascade sculptures | About 430 |
| Bonsai (root-over, on-rock, on-wood styles) | About 300 |
| Total | About 53,000 |
🎠 What displays are there?
This year is Visit Yangsan Year 2026,
so there are more displays telling Yangsan’s stories.
| Highlights | Details |

The festival grounds are open for night viewing
until 21:00.
On weekends, the main stage at Central Plaza
hosts cultural performances such as
acoustic guitar and band shows.
There are three weekends during the festival:
