📝 About Chuseok 2026
Often called Korean Thanksgiving, Chuseok falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the harvest moon is at its fullest and brightest. Families gather for charye, an ancestral memorial rite where freshly harvested food is offered at a ceremonial table, and then visit ancestors' graves to pay respects. The signature dish is songpyeon — half-moon-shaped rice cakes filled with sesame, chestnut, or red bean and steamed over pine needles. Traditional activities include ssireum (Korean wrestling) and ganggangsullae, a women's circle dance dating back centuries. Chuseok triggers one of Korea's largest annual migration events, with millions traveling to hometowns during the three-day holiday.
