2025 Chuseok Family Festival at the National Museum of Asian Art 

Join the Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. (KCCDC) and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art (NMAA) to celebrate one of Korea’s most important traditional holidays together at the 2025 Chuseok Family Festival on Saturday, October 4!  Now in its third year since starting in 2023, the festival has quickly become a signature program for the KCCDC and the NMAA, drawing more than 5,000–6,000 visitors of all ages for a full day of cultural experiences. This year’s highlight include a first-ever introduction and live demonstration of 씨름 (ssireum), Korean traditional wrestling, in Washington, D.C. presented by the Korea Ssireum Association, plus live traditional and K-Pop performances, dance workshops, Korean fashion photo booths, unique cultural heritage displays, and arts and crafts activities.   Chuseok (추석), also known as Hangawi (한가위) or more casually as Korean Thanksgiving, is one of Korea's most important and beloved holidays. For many Koreans it is a time to journey home, reconnect with family and loved ones, and to give thanks for life’s blessings. Chuseok traditionally falls on the day of the largest full moon according to the lunar calendar, signaling the end of the harvest season and a time to relax while thanking one’s ancestors for the season’s abundance.

Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in the exciting and heartwarming traditions of Korea’s beloved autumn holiday that’s all about family, fun, and connection: Chuseok!
