Seoul Kimchi Making & Sharing Festival

Starting from tomorrow, Nov 14 until Nov 16, there will be a SEOUL KIMCHI MAKING & SHARING FESTIVAL at Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul Plaza, Cheonggye Plaza, Taepyeong-ro, Sejong-ro Park. This event is the biggest kimchi making event to this date. Besides, this event is aimed to promote the culture of "kimjang" - a Korean traditional event where kimchi is made and shared. During the olden days, the Koreans will gather together to make and share a large amount of kimchi so that it is enough for them to last for the whole winter. However, this kimjang culture has been gradually forgotten by the local due to their busy life style.

For those who are visiting Seoul during this period, you may have a look here cause it's just near to the very famous Gyeongbokgung Palace.
