Weekend fun: Global Gathering 2025
Global Gathering 2025, the largest multicultural festival in Busan, returns on May 24, filling the city with the vibrant charms of cultures from around the world. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Busan Cinema Center in Centum City.
The festival will feature a diverse range of performances that capture the essence of various cultures and stimulate the audience’s senses. Highlights include performances by Korean and Japanese trot singers, a traditional Korean dance by the Busan Metropolitan Dance Company, and special performances by artists from Chongqing, China and Shimonoseki, Japan.
In addition, “All-Star English,” a signature program of Busan English Broadcasting, will present a live show.
Festivalgoers can also join the Walk Expedition, a raffle event that requires collecting five stamps scattered throughout the venue. Participants can pick up a leaflet and visit designated booths marked to collect stamps. Once all stamps are collected, they will be eligible to test their luck in a prize draw. More than 10 prizes are up for grabs, including major rewards such as international flight tickets and cruise trip tickets. The raffle draw will be held twice during the event.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to broaden their culinary horizons by sampling traditional dishes from countries around the world, including many that are seldom encountered in everyday life. For more information about the event, please visit the official website at the link below.
