L.A. Celebrates 40th Annual Korean Festival
Throughout the years, the Los Angeles Korean Festival has become diverse, attracting more than just Korean-Americans living in the city. It has become multicultural, allowing cultures to come together to understand other cultures, as well as giving individuals the opportunity to mingle without any barriers. In order to help other cultures come together, the festival sets up events that focuses on other cultures, rather than focusing on the Korean-American culture.
Last year’s Korean Festival had some good reviews and feedback. This year, there are more exciting things planned and you won’t be disappointed. There are performances and attractions each day of the festival. At this year's festival, attendees can expect to see fashion shows, youth talent shows, singing competitions, parades, flash mobs, Latin music concert, and much more.
Finally, what is a festival without food? At this year’s Korean Festival, you can enjoy authentic traditional Korean foods as well as foods from different cultures. There are also more than 200 stores located throughout the festival to showcase their latest products, including cosmetics, clothes and accessories.
Be sure to get to the festival early to avoid hunting for a parking space. Please bring an ID if you are over 21 and would like to order alcohol.
