• **I'm sorry if my directions weren't clear enough and got some people lost! I realized that they changed the location from last year (and also the directions on the official webpage weren't that clear either) Here is an updated version:
• **It is on beach blvd past Orangethorpe and past Commonwealth towards Malvern at the intersection of Beach Blvd / Malvern  (La Mirada St). It is on the left side once you are at the intersection! The street La Mirada is closed down and blocked off for the event. Park in a nearby neighborhood if you can't find parking at the event area. The event is also next to the plaza with Daiso, Sup Noodle Bar, H Mart, 85 Degrees (Ktown Buena Park Plaza). There should be signs that will help guide you there as well! Thanks for reading <3

SO WHO IS EXCITED FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY ARIRANG KOREAN FESTIVAL 2014 IN BUENA PARK?! (아리랑 페스티벌 2014 부에나팍) 가는사람있읍니까?!

THERE WILL ALSO BE FOOD BOOTHS, A KPOP CONTEST AND TALENT SHOW! YAY! WILL ANYONE BE GOING? I ALWAYS GO TO THIS EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND FOR THE MAJORITY, IT'S BEEN IN GARDEN GROVE. BUT SINCE LAST YEAR HAS MOVED TO BUENA PARK. I GUESS THE KOREAN COMMUNITY THERE IS BECOMING BIGGER? OR MAYBE THE SPACE IS BIGGER? EITHER WAY, I AM EXCITED FOR THE KOREAN FOOD AND PERFORMANCES! 

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT THIS FESTIVAL IS IN SEPTEMBER. USUALLY IT'S THE AROUND THE 2ND WEEK OF OCTOBER. IN FACT, IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR THE LAST (ALMOST) DECADE THAT I'VE BEEN GOING TO THIS FESTIVAL. I GUESS IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE! 

I ALWAYS LOVE GETTING FREE STUFF AT THE FESTIVAL. I'VE GOTTEN A FREE "GOT SOJU?" SHIRT BEFORE, PIGGY BANKS FOR FREE, FREE PENS AND NOTEPADS AND ETC. JUST RANDOM NICK NACKS HERE AND THERE. THERE WAS ALSO A FREE PHOTOBOOTH LAST YEAR! IT'S JUST A FUN CULTURAL FESTIVAL FOR ALL AGES! (BUT MAYBE MOSTLY OLDER KOREAN PEOPLE)
