The Jeju Fire Festival (제주들불축제) is Jeju City's March festival at Saebyeol Oreum, a 519 m grassy volcanic cone in Aewol-eup, rooted in the island's old custom of burning off dead pasture. The famous burning of the whole hillside was abolished in 2023; in 2026 the slope was lit instead by a laser, fireworks and media-art 'digital fire', alongside torch parades and a bonfire.
The Seogwipo Canola Flower Festival is a free weekend festival in the canola fields of Gasi-ri, in the eastern uplands of Seogwipo on Jeju, where Noksan-ro, a road of more than 10 km, is lined with yellow canola and often cherry blossom at the same time. The 43rd edition ran 4–5 April 2026, 10:00–20:00, around the Jorangmal Horse Experience Park, with a night opening, a running programme, classes and busking.
Spring arrives from the south. On Jeju, the fire festival at Saebyeol Oreum, a grassy volcanic cone, lights the hillside with fireworks, lasers and torches in early to mid March. Gwangyang's plum orchards bloom in the first three weeks of the month, and in mid-March Gurye, at the foot of Jirisan, holds a nine-day festival as its sansuyu (cornelian cherry) villages turn yellow. Gangjin's celadon festival runs into the first days of March. Cherry-blossom season starts in the last days of the month: Jinhae, the navy town beside Busan, holds Korea's largest cherry-blossom festival, and depending on the bloom, Gyeongju's stone-wall road at Daereungwon, Seokchon Lake and Yeouido in Seoul and the canola fields along Noksan-ro in Seogwipo can hold their festivals in late March or early April. The Jindo sea-road festival depends on spring tides and can land in March or April.
Tip. Blossom dates and festival dates are different things: check the organizer's bloom report the week you travel.
