Everland, operated by Samsung C&T's resort division, is launching a lineup of parades, circus performances, fireworks shows and hands-on programs to mark the fall outing season.

The theme park's fall festival, running through Nov. 22, features special performances, animal encounters and a horror-themed zone for the whole family. The combination of live shows, animal experiences and seasonal food in one venue is expected to draw families looking for an autumn day out.

During the day, the Smiley Pumpkin Parade takes over the park, with pumpkin- and skeleton-themed floats and performers marching to music. The Ppuppa Band show, featuring Everland's animal characters, runs for about 15 minutes.

At the indoor Grand Stage, the art circus "Wings of Memory" — blending high-difficulty acrobatics with a narrative storyline — is staged twice daily. After dark, the Moonlight Parade brings out floats adorned with about 1 million light bulbs, while "Guardians of Light" fills the autumn night sky with thousands of fireworks, drones and laser displays.

The Four Seasons Garden is in full bloom with marigolds, cosmos and other fall flowers. The park has also released more than 30 costume merchandise items inspired by animals such as orangutans and capybaras, along with about 20 new character products reflecting the traits of Everland's resident animals.

Fall-limited menu items are also available, including spicy bibimbap made with Jeju black pork and a chestnut latte.

Animal experience programs round out the offering. Wild Savanna Expedition lets visitors walk through Lost Valley and observe animals up close, while Night Safari offers a nocturnal predator tour after dark. Blood City Zero, marking its 10th anniversary this year, immerses visitors in a zombie-city survival mission.
