Sometimes called Korean Thanksgiving, Chuseok is a major Korean holiday, on par with Lunar New Year’s Day (seollal) and Dano. Falling on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, Chuseok is a time of showing gratitude - to our ancestors and for newly harvested crops. Families gather together and prepare ritual offerings of fresh food and drink for their ancestors. This is followed by celebration through shared stories, food, music, dance, and games to celebrate the abundance of nature.
