Jinnai Naval Port Festival

The Jinhae Naval Port Festival, held every April in Jinhae, a naval port city with rows of around 30 cherry trees, is held under the cherry blossoms in full bloom. Jinhae Naval Port Festival was originally a festival to commemorate Admiral Yi Sun-sin (4-1545), and was held from 1598 to 1952 under the supervision of the Navy Jinhae Control Department to commemorate the erection of the nation's first bronze statue of Admiral Yi on April 4. The festival was renamed the Naval Port Festival in 13 and is still held today.
