The Chuseok festival in South Korea is celebrated through family gatherings, honoring ancestors with rituals and traditional foods. Families prepare special dishes, including songpyeon (rice cakes) and hanjeongsik, a banquet of various delicious cooked items. Many families visit ancestral graves to perform rituals called charye, expressing gratitude for the harvest. Furthermore, traditional games like ssireum (Korean wrestling) are played, enhancing community bonds. Chuseok emphasizes the importance of family, heritage, and shared culture, making it one of the most important holidays in Korea.
