Notes on the 2024 edition

28th edition, theme 'Uri cham, kkochi doelgeoya' (roughly 'We will truly bloom'). About 35,000 visitors on day one and 40,000 on day two, about 75,000 in all (county estimate). The county live-streamed the azalea field on YouTube before the festival.

About the festival

The Biseulsan Azalea Culture Festival (비슬산 참꽃문화제) is Dalseong County's spring festival on Biseulsan in southern Daegu, timed to the bloom of a summit plateau of wild azaleas, about 300,000 pyeong (roughly 1 km²) at around 1,000 m beside Daegyeonsa temple. The 30th edition ran 17–19 April 2026; the 2027 dates are not announced and should fall on a mid-April weekend set by the bloom. Entry, concerts and the festival's electric buses up to the azalea field are free.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Biseulsan Azalea Culture Festival page, which covers every edition.
