Water splash parade at Everland

Everland is paying tribute to the days of summer this year as the amusement park and resort play host to the Summer Splash and Fantastic Summer Night festival. The festival is jam-packed with various programs like splash parades, fireworks and a 3-D mapping show held every night.

During the day, guests can enjoy Jack’s Splash Parade, which sprays 84 tons of water from 40 water cannons and six floats, three times a day. Then later at night when the heat dies down, the park’s Rose Garden will be turned into a midsummer night’s dream paradise as the garden is transformed into a festival of lights. The garden will also feature 20 screens projecting visuals of famous impressionist art from Monet to Van Gogh and Hesse. The Summer Splash and Fantastic Summer Night festival is being held daily until Aug. 28.
