On the final day (September 27), the theme will be "K-Food," giving visitors a chance to experience the atmosphere of the Chuseok holiday in advance. Activities for families include making a giant bibimbap and longevity injeolmi, as well as performances of Korean traditional music and pungmulnori, and traditional games such as neolttwigi and jegichagi.
