The 14th Gyeonggi Garden Culture Expo 2026 will be held for 4 days, from October 16 to 19, around Dumulmeori and Semiwon in Gyeonggi Province. The expo takes place at Dumulmeori, where the Namhangang (South Han) and Bukhangang (North Han) rivers meet, and at Semiwon, Korea's No. 1 designated local garden.

This year's expo has the theme 'Dumulmeori Sa:saek.' 'Sa:saek' expresses the cycle of nature through 4 colours (sa means "four" and saek means "colour") symbolising spring, summer, autumn and winter, and at the same time carries the meaning of sasaek (思索), meaning deep reflection on life. The expo is designed so that visitors can walk through the gardens linking Dumulmeori and Semiwon, take in the colours of the seasons and spend time reflecting on themselves.

The centrepiece of the expo is its exhibition gardens. Alongside them, there will be an opening ceremony, garden culture activities in which visitors can take part, a garden industry exhibition introducing garden-related industries, and a conference. Cultural and arts performances will continue throughout the event, and a food market with food trucks and a flea market are also scheduled to operate.

Opening hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and anyone may attend with no age restrictions. For details, inquiries can be made by phone (031-770-2572).
