Visit the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park, NY on August 16 to join the festivities! Hosted by the Korean Cuisine Globalization Committee, this year’s Korea Day will take place between 11am and 7pm. The welcoming ceremony will begin at 11:30, followed by the many events organized for visitors. In addition to ongoing performances, the event will also feature a K-Pop contest, with contestants competing for free round-trip tickets to Korea.

During the day, the Korean Food Exhibition will showcase some of the most popular Korean dishes, during which visitors will not only be invited to samples, but also learn how these dishes are made. The Korean Culture Exhibition will have a booth for visitors to try on hanbok, or traditional Korean outfits.
