The 2026 Inje Autumn Flower Festival celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of poet Park In-hwan, a leading figure in Korean modernist poetry, by creating a unique garden that blends literary sensibility with vibrant autumn flowers. The festival's highlight is the opportunity to appreciate various autumn flowers in a space that modernly reinterprets the poet's romanticism while feeling a literary lingering. The festival grounds are composed of various themed paths. Starting with the Park In-hwan Romantic Garden, Flower Rest Area, and Fortune Observatory in 'Happiness Path,' visitors can enjoy a leisurely autumn stroll through the Wildflower Garden and Chrysanthemum Bonsai Exhibition in 'Love Path,' and the cozy Riverside Walkway and Slow Mailbox in 'Communication Path.' In 'Healing Path,' guests can walk through the Forest Cafe and Artist/Community Gardens, and enjoy nature-based activities such as tree climbing, treehouses, a forest for children, and bookmark making. Food and entertainment are also plentiful, with the 'Well-being Market' offering local agricultural products and chrysanthemums, various craft experiences, food trucks, and lively performances. Additionally, rich events like the Flower Path Stamp Tour, drawing contests, and rock-paper-scissors competitions provide a perfect autumn outing. Admission is free, though some experience programs require a fee.
