About TKF
The Toronto Korean Festival | 토론토 한인 대축제
The Toronto Korean Festival (TKF), formally known as “The Korean Harvest Festival” aims to establish the Willowdale area as a hub for Korean culture and celebrates the growth of Korean culture driven by Korean dramas and K-Pop groups. Last year's festival featured food and market vendors, traditional performances, and K-Pop events.
In 2023, TKF plans to expand to commemorate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Canada, expecting over 50,000 attendees. The festival will showcase various aspects of Korean culture, including K-Pop, K-Dance, K-Food, and K-Beauty. Signature programs like the singing & dancing competitions and the Chimek (Chicken + Beer) Pavilion will return, along with new attractions such as a breakdancing team "Fusion MC" from Korea and K-Pop groups JUST B & Rolling Quartz to fill the stage. TKF 2023 promises non-stop excitement and entertainment with a mix of international and local talent.
THE VISION
The Toronto Korean Festival aims to spread the culture of Korea by providing a variety of cultural events and programs on behalf of the Korean Canadian community. The Korean Canadian Business Association (KCBA) prides itself in working very hard to make this a successful event and hopes to cultivate the Korean Community in Toronto.

Over 20 food and snack booths will be offering a variety of traditional Korean and fusion food so you can sample the many unique flavours Korea has to offer. Crowd favourites will be available such as Korean hotdogs, Tteokbokki (떡볶이), Bingsu (빙수), and much more! We will also be hosting a “Kimchi Experience” section where attendees can learn and make their own Kimchi, and a “Chimek Garden” where we will be offering an ever growing popular combination of Korean Fried Chicken and Beer (as well as other alcoholic options).
