Published programme

The Hwaseon Dolmen Autumn Flower Festival, a UNESCO World Heritage site, began in 2013 as "Chrysanthemum Festival in the City," originally held in Namsan Park. It has since been revitalized and moved to the Hwaseon Dolmen site, becoming Hwaseon's representative autumn festival. The festival features a beautiful autumn landscape created by the combination of the UNESCO World Heritage dolmens and a diverse array of autumn flowers, which are themed differently each year. Visitors can also enjoy family-friendly experience programs that offer an engaging look at the history and culture of the dolmen era, as well as a variety of exhibitions and performances. A highlight of the festival is the "DM Concert," a representative performance of Hwaseon that incorporates the "DM" from "Dolmen" in its name, adding to the festive atmosphere. This unique festival offers a special opportunity to experience both the value of a UNESCO World Heritage site and the beauty of autumn flowers.
