Hwasun Dolmen Autumn Flower Festival, UNESCO World Heritage Site
세계문화유산 화순 고인돌 가을꽃 축제
This premier autumn festival in Hwasun showcases UNESCO World Heritage megaliths alongside chrysanthemums and autumn flowers with changing themes each year. Visitors experience Bronze Age history and culture through family-friendly programs, thematic exhibitions (photo gardens, butterfly gardens, animal gardens), and diverse performances. The flagship DM Concert takes center stage at the megaliths, while workshops include naming ceremonies from prehistory, Bronze Age costume try-ons, traditional pastry making, and megaliths-inspired jewelry crafting. Tastings of Hwasun's signature desserts, regional cuisine, and food trucks enhance the experience.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site
- 1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
- 2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
- 3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
- 4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.
💡 Good to know
When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
