Jinhae Gunhangje Festival 진해군항제

About

The Jinhae Gunhangje Festival (Korean: 진해군항제), also called Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival, is a cherry blossom festival held in Jinhae District, Changwon, South Korea. It began in 1963 and is held annually in early April (for about 10 days from April 1st). It is also called Beotkkotjang (Cherry Blossom Market) because markets similar to five-day markets are formed on roads with cherry blossom trees. In 1952, during the height of the Korean War, the first statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin in Korea was erected at Bugwon Rotary and a memorial service was held, which became the beginning.
