Through the year

  1. Cherry Blossom Festival

    April

    In Shintanjin, in April (spring) when the flowers happen to be in full bloom

  2. Daejeon Balloon Festival

    October

    Once a year around October, this is not the international balloon festival you are likely thinking of. The 2010 edition of this annual event only had two hot-air balloons, both tethered tightly to the ground.
