BFS Spring Fair shows everyone belongs in Busan

Busan Foreign School's international community shared their cultures at the Spring Fair on April 25.
Cultural diversity is now part of everyday life in Busan. Residents interact with people from different cultures at school, work and in their neighborhoods.
The Spring Fair at Busan Foreign School, held on April 25, highlighted Busan's growing diversity. With students and parents from countries including the United States, Greater China, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Kazakhstan, Russia and India, the event had a truly international feel. Participants ran booths featuring traditional foods from their cultures.
The fair also included a parade, a Taekwondo demonstration, traditional dances and a concert.
By bringing local residents and international families together, the Spring Fair showed how Busan is becoming a place where diverse communities can feel at home and celebrate their heritage.
At the lively event, students and parents shared what made the day special.
Arina, a student from Russia, joined the parade dressed in a traditional Russian costume. She said she was nervous at first, but the parade was easier than expected, and the festival was exciting.
