L.A. is a city full of different cultures, where people from all over the world come together to share their traditions. The Los Angeles Korean Festival, widely considered the biggest in the country, shows off this cultural mix, giving everyone a chance to enjoy and learn about Korean heritage. It’s a fun way to celebrate diversity and bring communities closer.
The festival started in 1974, created by Korean-American immigrants who wanted to keep their culture alive in the U.S. Since then, it has grown into one of the city’s favorite cultural events. The 52nd edition, happening this October, continues this tradition with music, food, and activities for everyone.
At the festival, you can try all kinds of Korean foods, from sizzling barbecue to sweet shaved ice desserts. You’ll also catch live performances, from traditional Korean dances to lively K-pop shows. Plus, there are hands-on workshops where you can learn about crafts, language, and Korean history yourself.
You can also wander through a lively marketplace full of Korean goods where you can pick up traditional clothing, handmade jewelry, or unique souvenirs. It’s a fun way for you to explore Korean culture and take a little piece of the festival home.
