Korea Festival travels out of the Abu Dhabi city for the first time this year by moving to UAE’s garden city- Al Ain.

People in Al Ain can now enjoy an Korean experience like Korean folk games, traditional clothes and calligraphy before the main events starts. Korean cooking classes will be held as well, along with tasting stations. The festival will close with performances featuring Danpyunsun & the Sailors and Goblin Party.

K-Music: Acoustic Band (Danpyunsun & the Sailors) Danpyunsun & the Sailors is a four-piece group that was formed in 2013 with the members who has been creating a diverse range of music from classic, jazz, folk pop to experimental rock. They continue to push their boundaries toward a new pop sound with a mixture of both Eastern and Western influences.

K-Dance:  Dance Group (Goblin Party)
Goblin Party, which takes as its mascot the Korean goblin, or dokkaebi, a figure that bewitches people with its extraordinary talent and engages in impish and mischievous pranks, was founded in 2007. Goblin Party has been invited to Germany’s Internationale Tanzmesse, the Netherlands’ Spring Performing Arts Festival, Belgium’s dance biennale Pays de Danses, and other eminent festivals both in South Korea and overseas, and is not looking to stop any time soon.

Using its unique humour and seriousness as weapons, the group emphasizes communication with the audience while consistently striving, through research and effort, to create pieces that might broaden viewers’ perceptions.

The event offers free admission. However, it is on first come, first served basis.
