Ulsan’s Namgu, known for its eco-cultural sites and whale heritage, will host the Jangsaengpo Hydrangea Festival from June 7-29 at Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Village in South Korea.
Themed Jangsaengpo, Drenched in Hydrangeas, the festival takes place over 102,705m² and focuses on the Osaek Hydrangea Garden, where more than 30,000 hydrangeas in 40 types cover the hillside.
The venue will have wish-granting lanterns and string lights for visitors to enjoy day and night. There will also be photo zones, a tasting event for hydrangea-flavoured wine, and a flea market.
The first 300,000 ticket holders will also receive a local voucher that can be used like cash at local businesses and festival stalls until July 13.
The opening ceremony is on June 7, with the first night of after-dark admission. On June 8, there will be jazz, classical, and live band performances. Every Saturday, street concerts and magic shows will take place at Whale Culture Square, ending with fireworks.
At night, a media façade show on oil tanks near Jangsaengpo Culture Warehouse highlights local art, history, and energy.
Free shuttle buses will run on weekends between Taehwagang Station and Jangsaengpo to help visitors using public transport.
Jangsaengpo is South Korea’s only Whale Culture District. Once a whaling port, it now has attractions like the Whale Museum, Jangsaengpo Culture Warehouse, Whale Watching Cruise, and Jangsaengpo Monorail.
