Chuseok

15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar

Referred to by many as Korea’s Thanksgiving, the Chuseok holiday coincides with a full harvest moon. Families gather and spend time together while thanking their ancestors for the harvest. Of course, there is a huge feast including jeon (Korean pancakes) and songpyeon, small rice desserts filled with ingredients such as red beans, sesame seeds, or chestnuts.
