A Flavor Beyond Kimchi and K-Pop
While San Antonio’s Fiesta has always been known for its rich Spanish flair, including iconic characters like Rey Feo and events like La Semana Alegre, this new addition aims to introduce attendees to the diverse and fascinating world of Korean culture. The Korean Fiesta promises to go beyond the usual impressions many might have had—think cutting-edge K-pop and the ever-popular kimchi. It’s all about broadening the horizons!

A Thriving Cultural Hub
The Korean American Cultural Center has been an essential part of the San Antonio community for 17 years. Over the years, it has offered everything from cooking classes to lively dance performances.
