The 2026 Namdo K-Garden Festival is a nighttime garden festival held in the Yeomun Cultural Street and Yeoseo Tourist Plaza areas of Yeosu City. The festival's theme is "Yeosu Night Garden Embracing the Island," and it will run for a total of 51 days, from September 11th to October 31st, 2026. The festival aims to utilize the spatial characteristics of the city center by connecting garden spaces with nighttime scenery, and to provide citizens and tourists with opportunities to experience garden culture. The event venue will feature approximately 40 gardens, including a representative garden, a writer's garden, and a community participation garden. These gardens will showcase a diverse range of plants and landscape designs, creating a space that can be enjoyed both during the day and at night. At night, lighting effects are used to highlight the garden's landscape, providing a viewing environment that complements Yeosu's nighttime tourist attractions. During the event period, various contents such as garden explanation programs, cultural performances, experience programs, and citizen participation programs will be operated, and programs linked with the local business district and tourism resources will also be promoted. The 2026 Namdo K-Garden Festival aims to promote garden culture, revitalize the city center, and establish Yeosu as a garden city. The goal of this garden festival is to promote the sustainable development of garden culture by leveraging local cultural and tourism resources, and to create an event that both citizens and tourists can participate in and enjoy.
