Overview

If a South Korean jaunt has been on your bucket list for a while, here's a Melbourne event you shouldn't miss: Korea Festival returns to Federation Square after a three-year hiatus, bringing Squid Game-inspired challenges, Korean street food and live entertainment to Melbourne.

This vibrant slice of Korean culture is set to drop in Melbourne for one-day-only on Saturday, May 13. It's free for everyone to attend, with a lineup of live performances including Taekwondo demonstrations, K-Pop dances and singing competitions promised throughout the day.

Between snacking and drinking your fill from a wide variety of Korean food stands, festival goers can also challenge themselves to Squid Game-inspired tests, including the now-famous Red Light, Green Light game. The Netflix show's tug-of-war and the traditional game of Ttakji will also be available to play if you're keen to showcase your skills.
