Hong Kong is gearing up for the grand return of its largest celebration of Korean culture, Festive Korea, scheduled for October and November 2024. This year’s theme, "Jam Korea," draws inspiration from the Korean word for excitement, "jaem," promising a dynamic and immersive experience with over 30 events designed to captivate fans of Korean culture across a multitude of disciplines including visual arts, film, music, and gastronomy.

Mark your calendars for October 5 and 6, as the lively Korea Square will take over PMQ, transforming it into an all-day marketplace bursting with stalls, interactive experiences, and fun game booths. Don't miss out on unique family-friendly activities such as an EDM club specifically for kids, along with the K-Quiz Golden Bell—a playful nod to the beloved Korean television variety show Star Golden Bell. Additionally, brace yourself for the International Space-Out Competition, where you can showcase your creativity and wits.
