There will be a K-Pop Dance Competition, Champion of Masked Singer, various eating contests, Janice Jo Lee, Sina Bathaie, Roa (HyunYoung) Lee, and many more entertaining experiences to behold.

Also, in collaboration with Dream Makers, the festival will be bringing special guests and guest performers Ricky Kim, Yooshin Kim, and Seungju Ryu.

Plus, the “Taste of Korea” zone will be filled with Korean food, snacks, and various beverages.

Opening ceremonies will take place on Saturday, August 24 at 5 pm.
