Autumn in South Korea is also a time of cultural significance. One of the most cherished traditions is Chuseok (추석), Korea’s harvest festival, which typically occurs in late September or early October. This celebration is akin to Thanksgiving and involves paying respects to ancestors, sharing traditional foods, and participating in festive activities. During Chuseok, families gather to perform Charye (차례), a ritual that includes preparing elaborate meals to honor their ancestors, reflecting the deep-rooted cultural value of family and heritage.

Additionally, Seongchuseok (성추석) is a traditional autumn celebration marked by a range of local festivities, including outdoor games and traditional performances that showcase Korea’s rich cultural heritage.
