The Rose Festival, held every June at the Lake Park, proudly presents a splendid display of roses, one of the most popular types of flowers in the world and also the official city flower of Goyang. Spread across 3.2 acres of Rose Garden inside the Lake Park, more than 20,000 roses of 117 different varieties greet the visitors who can enjoy a variety of programs to see and experience at the festival, which opens right at the time of the blossoming of roses. A small, circular fountain and a tunnel surrounded and adorned by thousands of roses are popular spots to take beautiful pictures. Also, during the festival, several cultural art concerts are performed throughout the Lake Park, making it a great place for a picnic.
