Koreatown Opening Ceremony

Join in celebrating the official launch of Melbourne’s first Koreatown. This event features the unveiling of Jang-seung, traditional Korean totem poles, symbolising cultural unity and the strong ties between Korea and Australia.

The day will be filled with lively cultural performances showcasing Korean traditions, a giant bibimbap tasting to delight your taste buds, plus special guests and officials marking this historic moment.

For years this area has been an unofficial Koreatown, home to vibrant Korean restaurants, grocery stores, and businesses. Now, we are making it official.

Don’t miss this historic celebration of Korean culture, food, and heritage in the heart of the city.
