Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival 2026: Dates & What to Expect

This year's Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival will be held for five days, from April 8th (Wed) to 12th (Sun). The Korea Meteorological Administration predicts that the cherry blossoms will bloom 5 to 8 days earlier than average this year, so expect to see the buds start to open shyly from the last week of March. In early April, when the festival takes place, the 1,886 King cherry trees that fill the 1.7km section of Yeouiseo-ro behind the National Assembly Building will be in full bloom, creating a spectacular 'flower tunnel'.


Romantic Cherry Blossoms on the Han River: Yacht Tour

If simply walking along the cherry blossom path isn't enough, consider the yacht tour program that's also available. The cherry blossom path viewed from the Han River with a cool river breeze offers a completely different three-dimensional experience. If you take a yacht during the magic hour when the red sunset and cherry blossoms blend together, you'll capture the best scene of spring in 2026.
