The Korean Day Festival is an annual celebration of Korean culture, heritage, and community spirit. It brings together people of all backgrounds to experience the richness of Korean traditions through performances, cultural exhibits, and culinary delights.
Last year, we had more than 50,000 Calgarians come to experience and dwell in the Korean Culture.
This year, we are expecting a greater turnout and are excited to showcase the vibrancy of Korean culture to the Calgary community.
