Yuseong Chrysanthemum Festival

Selected as one of Daejeon City’s representative festivals starting in 2022, the “17th Yuseong Chrysanthemum Festival”—Yuseong-gu’s premier fall festival—will be held for 16 days, from October 17 to November 1, in the Yurim Park area. Visitors can enjoy a variety of exhibitions, hands-on activities, and performances that showcase the inherent beauty of chrysanthemums and the unique characteristics of Yuseong, the “City of Science.” This year, the Hanbit Tower—a symbol of the “City of Science”—will be reimagined as a chrysanthemum sculpture. The Asta Chrysanthemum Garden will be expanded to include the area along Yuseong Stream (underneath Eoeun Bridge), and a cosmos path will be created along the Bandoji and Yuseong Stream walking trails to offer a bountiful display of autumn flowers. Additionally, the festival will feature a drawing caricature robot, hands-on gardening experiences such as terrarium-making, woodworking workshops, chrysanthemum-themed activities, and performances by local universities and artists. At night, the festival will feature atmospheric evening events—such as moonlight busking, a Candle Garden Concert, wish lanterns, and the Chrysanthemum (Onbit) Cinema—encouraging visitors to linger and enjoy the festivities. The festival will also boost the local economy through receipt-based events in collaboration with nearby businesses and a guide to local restaurants. At the Yuseong Chrysanthemum Festival, where beautiful chrysanthemums and autumn flowers blend with science, art, culture, and relaxation, you can create special autumn memories.
