Guam’s first Korean Festival will take place on Sept. 22, 2018, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Ypao Beach Park.

The Korean Association of Guam will be sponsoring the event, which is open to the general public.

Those attending can expect to experience Korea’s culture through food and music.

The event features a hands-on preparation of kimchi to the first 200 attendees.

The event will also feature performances by Korean traditional performers and K-pop music dancers will be performing live on stage.

According to Thomas Son, director of culture for the Korean Association of Guam, a handful of Korean migrants started the organization in 1975.

Every year, the Korean community celebrates “Chuseok,” which literally translates to “Autumn Eve.”

“This is a major harvest festival and holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar on the full moon,” Son said.
