The “Seoul Garden Festa” is a pop-up store festival held in Seoul's magnificent parks. As part of a deregulation policy initiative which now allows commercial activities in parks, Seoul City has created a festive space where visitors can enjoy pop-up stores such as markets and food trucks alongside cultural events—all previously prohibited in parks. The festival features activities that are a treat for all five senses, including the Book Garden (an open-air library), busking performances, and gardening programs. Under the slogan "A Healthy Chapter in My Life," each park offers uniquely themed pop-up stores to enhance the visitor experience. Running throughout April, the Seoul Garden Festa will allow visitors to fully enjoy spring in parks filled with cherry blossoms, tulips, daffodils, and other spring flowers alongside exciting content.
