Celebrate Korean culture—season by season.

We Are a King Sejong Institute

At Korean American Center, culture is meant to be experienced. Our events and workshops invite the community to engage with Korean traditions, holidays, arts, and ideas—whether you’re attending solo, with family, or simply curious to learn.

From festive celebrations to hands-on sessions, our programs reflect the richness of Korean culture in ways that are inclusive, meaningful, and fun.
