GREEN Han River Festival on June 6

Seoul will hold the citizen festival GREEN Han River on June 6 at Gwangnaru Bicycle Park to mark Environment Day, according to a notice posted Monday by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The free event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is open to anyone interested in the environment, the city said. (news.seoul.go.kr) Seoul said the festival is designed as a participatory program where residents can experience the Han River's ecology and take part in environmental activities. The event is hosted and organized by the city's Hangang Business Headquarters, according to the notice. ### When and where does the festival take place? June 6 is the festival date, and Gwangnaru Bicycle Park is the venue listed in the city's announcement. Seoul tied the event to Environment Day, which falls on June 5, and said the program would bring residents together along the river for one-day activities focused on ecology and environmental awareness. The city said admission is free and that the event is open to anyone who cares about environmental issues. Seoul listed the operating hours as 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, making it a single-day program rather than a multiweek campaign or seasonal festival.

Seoul said the mission zone will center on four mission-style programs tied to Han River ecology and environmental protection. (news.seoul.go.kr) The experience zone will host citizen-participation booths, while the healing zone is described as a rest area by the river and the photo zone as a place for commemorative pictures. The city said visitors will be able to join 11 programs in total, including quizzes and upcycling activities. (news.seoul.go.kr) Seoul's notice described the event as a place where families and neighbors can take part in environmental missions and hands-on activities in a riverside setting. ### How does registration work? Seoul said both advance applications and on-site registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The city did not list a ticket price because participation is free, but it warned that some activities may close early if materials run out. (news.seoul.go.kr) The materials limit is one of the few practical constraints in the city's notice. Seoul said programs could end early once supplies are exhausted, which means visitors planning to join hands-on activities may want to arrive before the busiest part of the day. That timing point is an inference from the city's first-come, first-served and materials-limit notice. (news.seoul.go.kr) ### Who is organizing it? Seoul Metropolitan Government's Hangang Business Headquarters is listed as the host and organizer. The contact office named in the notice is the Operations Division's Citizen Activity Support Section, with a phone number provided for inquiries. (news.seoul.go.kr) The city's environment news page described GREEN Han River as a citizen-participation festival and invited residents to join what it called small but meaningful action for the environment. The notice did not name outside sponsors, performers or private partners. (news.seoul.go.kr) ### Where can people check details before going? The city's environment news page carried the full event notice on June 1. Seoul said the page includes the event outline, participation method, operating hours and the four-zone program structure. (news.seoul.go.kr) June 6 is the next key date for the event, with activities beginning at 10 a.m. at Gwangnaru Bicycle Park, according to the city notice. Seoul said registration will be available in advance and on-site on a first-come, first-served basis, with some programs subject to early closure when materials are used up. (news.seoul.go.kr)
