The biggest Korean food festival in Canada is coming to Toronto

Prepare to fill up on all of your favourite Korean cuisine and culture at Canada's largest Korean food and cultural festival, happening in Toronto this summer.

Taking over Mel Lastman Square for a full weekend of all the best things Korea has to offer, Toronto Korean Festival is one North York's most-anticipated events of the year.

You'll be able to stroll through entire pavilions dedicated to Chimaek (chicken and beer) and bulgogi, alongside vendors offering a slew of other street food favourites like tteokbokki, soondae and more!.

Aside from the food (though, really, what more could you possibly want?), there'll also be areas devoted to K-Pop, K-Dance, K-Beauty and more, with plenty of live performances and competitions keeping the vibes up.

Running the gamut from traditional to contemporary, the Toronto Korean Festival truly embodies the dazzle and excitement that's helped make Korean food, music and dance some of the most popular in the world.

The festival kicks off on Friday, August 23, and runs through Sunday, August 25. Each day has a unique schedule, so you can keep coming back and never experience the same festival twice.

To learn more about the festival or view the full schedule which will be released in coming weeks, visit Toronto Korean Festival's website.
