The 2008 Namsangol Winter Retreat Festival will be held for two days, from November 8 to November 9, at the Namsangol Hanok Village, a popular tourist attraction in Seoul displaying traditional Korean houses. There will be a variety of performances and events to celebrate the Korean tradition of “Woldong (wintering)”, where Korean ancestors would specially prepare and store away Kimchi, and would carry out other winter preparations, before the weather became too cold.
During the Namsangol Winter Retreat Festival visitors will be able to enjoy traditional Korean dances, Samullori (traditional Korean percussion quartet), folk concerts, and musicals at the performance stage, as well as exhibitions of dolls and flower arrangements under the theme of ‘Woldong’. Visitors will also be able to sample traditional Korean winter food. The festival will offer other unique experiences that visitors can participate in, on a first-come first-serve basis, such as preparing Kimchi, a Kimchi buffet, traditional arts, and folk games. |
