This event was designed under the theme "The Flower Expo That's Even More Fun on a Rainy Day." Shifting away from outdoor garden-centered viewing, the expo is welcoming guests with emotional experiences and comfortable indoor exhibitions and hands-on content that can only be enjoyed on rainy days.

First, there will be a "Rainy Day Limited Photo Event" to capture special moments in the rain. Visitors can take photos at various locations throughout the expo grounds, using rain gear such as raincoats, umbrellas, and boots, to show off their personal "Flower Expo Style."

Participation is simple. Take a photo at the expo, post it on your personal social media with the required hashtag (#2026GoyangInternationalFlowerExpo), and then visit the Korean Pressed Flower Education and Culture Association booth inside the indoor "Floral Exchange Hall" to receive a prize after verification. This event is on a first-come, first-served basis and may end early if prizes run out.

In addition, there are indoor experience programs. At the Korean Pressed Flower Education and Culture Association booth, visitors can participate in a "Pressed Flower Fan Making" activity, where they can create their own fan using flowers in the calm atmosphere of a rainy day. This program is also on a first-come, first-served basis and may close early if supplies run out.

The indoor exhibition content is also worth noting. In particular, the "Minecraft Adventure Village" at the Global Content Pavilion is a space that combines digital elements, flowers, and interactive experiences. There are various participatory programs for visitors, such as making can badges and photo cards, making time spent indoors a fun and memorable experience.

As such, a distinctive feature of the Goyang International Flower Expo is that visitors can fully enjoy the event indoors even in rainy weather.

On this day, due to the rain, only the waterfront stage performances were held as scheduled, while some other outdoor performance programs were canceled.

Detailed information about the event can be found on the Flower Expo's Instagram, Facebook, and other social media channels.

An expo representative stated, "When it rains, the colors of the flowers become more vivid and their fragrance intensifies. We hope visitors will discover a unique charm of the Flower Expo that can only be experienced in the rain through these special rainy day events."
