The Sydney Korean Festival is about celebrating and sharing all the wonderful aspects of Korean culture.  The festival will be bigger and better than ever this year with the festival set to run over two days.  There will be many more mouth-watering food stalls this year and for the first time in six years the 2017 Korea Drama & Film Awards will become part of the event.

A highlight of this year's event is the 'Chajeon Nori ' (Juggernaut Battle Game) performance at 11.30am and 3.30pm on Saturday, 1st April.  'Chajeon Nori' is a traditional game in which two teams holding their A-shaped wooden frames with the team's leader standing on the frame battling to discourage the opposing team by raising the wooden structure higher and higher. The team that makes the opponent's wooden structure fall to the ground wins the battle.  About 150 people in total participate in the battle and the roar of the teams will be heard all over Darling Harbour.

This year's festival will have a Hite Beer Garden as well as many options for trying Korean food.  Some of the food stalls joining are Kobow, Kartel, Light Bulb Soda, Mandoo House, Papa's Street Tacos, Passion Tree, Red Bean Pancake, Crazy Gyoza as well as juice and gelato bars.
