Yeouido Yunjungno Cherry Blossom Festival

The biggest cherry blossom celebration in Seoul, this year’s festival is scheduled for April 8-15. Yeoudio Park offers good picnicking spots, but expect it to be crowded, especially on the weekend. The Yunjung Road behind the National Assembly building is lined for almost four miles with trees, some which are 30 to 40 years old. In the evening the street is illuminated, and at night the city launches fireworks to celebrate spring. Face painting, food vendors, folk music, caricature artists, Taekwondo performances and other musical performances fill out the fun.
