About the festival
Yeongju Sobaeksan Azalea Festival is a mountain-type nature festival held at Sobaeksan, a representative natural resource of Yeongju. It is a festival where visitors can fully experience the ecological value and majestic mountain scenery of Sobaeksan during the peak of spring when the azaleas are in full bloom. The festival features trekking programs timed with the azalea blooming period, professional ecological explanations, and nature experience content, showcasing a visitor-participation mountain festival. The azalea clusters along the ridges and the open views provide an overwhelming natural landscape unique to Sobaeksan. Additionally, food and experience programs linked to local agricultural specialties enhance the joy of travel, creating a virtuous cycle where tourism consumption benefits local farmers and small businesses, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy. The Yeongju Sobaeksan Azalea Festival offers a special spring journey where one can escape from daily life and reconnect with true rest and the value of nature through a day spent in the mountains, breathing together with nature and people.
