Korean Slate

Finally made it to the Seoul International Park for the second day of the Korean Festival in Los Angeles. There are a lot of booths selling everything from traditional Korean food and ginseng to high-tech kitchen appliances. Took some legwork but I was able to track down a copy of the events schedule. (I dare you to try it yourself. Good luck if you don’t speak Korean. Harrumph.)

Just noticed that the schedule for both Saturday and Sunday is the same. Don’t know if that’s on purpose.

*Night of Korean Music on September 18 (Friday) at Zipper Hall, located inside the Colburn School in Downtown Los Angeles at 200 South Grand Avenue, next to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA).

*The 36th Los Angeles Korean Parade will be at 3 PM along Olympic Boulevard on Saturday. No one’s sure where it’s going to start but it will likely be near the Seoul International Park (Ardmore) in front of Shinhan Bank at 3000 W Olympic Blvd.
