Hangawi Cultural Festival

The National Folk Museum of Korea in Seoul will offer a variety of cultural programs for both local citizens and foreign residents, including members of multicultural families, from Sept. 5 to 13. The goal is to acquaint them with Hangawi, or Chuseok, one of the biggest traditional holidays in Korea, which falls on Sept. 12 this year. Programs will include making "songpyeon," Korean rice cakes served during the Chuseok holidays, and traditional Korean dishes. In addition, there will be an exhibition of traditional dishes from foreign countries, performances of traditional music and plays.
