Notes on the 2023 edition

Renamed the Lake Spring Festival (호수의 봄축제) because early heat had brought most of the blossoms down. The first in-person edition in four years (the 2021 festival was online); 20% of the budget went on safety.

About the festival

The Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossom Festival is Songpa-gu's free spring festival around Seokchon Lake, beside Lotte World Tower in south-east Seoul, where about 1,000 king cherry trees line a lit lakeside path of about 2.5 km. The 2026 edition ran 3–11 April; the 2027 dates follow the bloom and are expected between late March and mid-April, announced only about ten days ahead. Take Line 2 or Line 8 to Jamsil Station, Exit 2 or 3, and walk about five minutes.

Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossom Festival page, which covers every edition.
