South Korea has many festivals in the second half festivals. Also, I believe many of the second half festivals are held in October. In October, many different kinds of local festivals are being held in each local.

Gimje Horizon Festivals is the first festival that is held in October in Gimje. It was held from September 27, 2019, to October 6, 2019. Gimje Horizon Festivals has many programs for adults and children such as cooking rice using traditional furnaces, rice reaping, ox-cart riding, marking bar rice cake, jultagi, and nongak. At night, they show us fireworks and laser shows. When you visit here, you do not have to worry about children because, in this festival, the children can experience things hard to come by in modern urban neighborhoods.
