Approximately 40 gardens—including signature gardens, artist gardens, and citizen-participation gardens—will be created at the festival site. Through a variety of plants and scenic installations, the site will be operated as a space that can be enjoyed both during the day and at night. At night, lighting displays will highlight the garden scenery and create a viewing environment connected to Yeosu’s nighttime tourism resources. Throughout the festival, a range of content will be offered, including garden interpretation programs, cultural performances, hands-on programs, and citizen-participation programs. Programs linked to local commercial areas and tourism resources will also be presented. The 2026 Namdo K-Garden Festival is designed to promote garden culture and revitalize the old downtown area while establishing a foundation for Yeosu as a garden city. Through a garden festival that residents and tourists can enjoy and participate in together, it aims to promote the sustainable spread of garden culture by utilizing the region’s cultural and tourism resources.
