The 52nd annual Los Angeles Korean Festival transformed Seoul International Park in Koreatown into a vibrant cultural hub last week, Oct. 16-19, 2025. Billed as the largest Korean cultural event in the U.S., the four-day gathering drew huge crowds to enjoy traditional dance and K-pop performances, exhibits, family fun, and authentic Korean food and wares from over 100 vendors — plus the legendary hot dog eating contest.
