Bay Area Virtual Chuseok Festival (Korean Harvest)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Bay Area Chuseok Festival celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area by showcasing Korean traditions, music, arts, cuisine, and community. Our mission is to inspire exploration and discovery of Korean culture across communities and generations, while offering the Korean Americans a way to celebrate together an important traditional holiday.

This year, in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Festival is going virtual and is dedicated to supporting local businesses, organizations, and individuals working hard to overcome difficulties during these challenging times.
