Overview
Free music, a free fashion show, free food and free K-Pop. What’s not to love? The inaugural Korea Festival is set to take over Fed Square for the day and drench it in traditional and contemporary Korean culture. Quite frankly, it looks awesome.
The day will feature many exciting events including performances from the Busan Metropolitan Traditional Music Orchestra, Taekwondo and Hapkido demonstrations (and why not get a few self-defense moves down on your lunch break), a colourful Hanbok fashion show, a cooking show and a K-Pop contest. Turns out there’s a whole world beyond Gangnam Style and it’s kind of glorious.
Though this is the first Korea Festival to hit Melbourne, we're confident it won't be the last. Between last year’s KWave Festival and the ever-successful Korean Film Festival, it turns out Melbournians can't get enough of Korean culture. And, honestly, this year's program had us at K-Pop.
See the Korea Festival website for more details including events and programming.
