The Jirisan Piagol Autumn Foliage Festival is held under the theme of "Variegated colors of Autumn foliage trip with Samhong" in Toji-myeon, Gurye-gun districts. Samhong literally means the "three reds," referring to the vibrant red foliage, the red-tinted waters, and the red in the eye of the beholder.
The festival opens with a funeral rites ceremony in appreciation of the beautiful suroundings, followed by a concert, a trekking and a one night, two day camping tour in Jirisan Dulle-gil Road, followed by various hands-on programs. During the festival, a free shuttle bus will run, and visitors will receive free admission to Yeongoksa Temple.
