Notes on the 2026 edition
30th edition. About 100,000 visitors over three days (organizer estimate), about 50,000 of them on Sunday 19 April. The azaleas reached full bloom on 19 April and were expected to stay at peak into the following week. The road at the forest entrance jammed and the public and temporary car parks filled.
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.
