Korean Festivals

Korean festivals are vibrant cultural celebrations reflecting the country's rich traditions and history. Key festivals include Chuseok, a harvest celebration similar to Thanksgiving, where families honor ancestors and share traditional foods like songpyeon (rice cakes). Seollal, the Lunar New Year, involves ancestral rites and festive meals. Another notable event is the Boryeong Mud Festival, celebrating summer with mud-related activities. These festivals often feature music, dance, and community gatherings, allowing Koreans to connect with their heritage and each other while enjoying seasonal changes and agricultural roots.
