A number of cultural events are taking place throughout Seoul in celebration of the Lunar New Year holiday.
Namsangol Hanok Village is holding an event on the first three days of the holiday.
Music and dance performances are scheduled, including mask dances themed around the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac.
Booths selling foods traditionally enjoyed during the holidays will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the sidelines of the performances.
The venue will also provide an opportunity for visitors to enjoy folk games like Yut Nori or Tuho.
Most of the events are free but tickets need to be purchased for some performances.
Bukchon Hanok Village is also holding a Lunar New Year event tomorrow.
Visitors can make traditional kites or wooden tops and take part in the making of rice cakes.
Traditional music and dance performances such as Samulnori, Pansori and Ganggangsullae will take place at the Seoul Museum of History on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
Folk games like top-spinning and archery will also be available on the sidelines.■
