K-Travel:5個必去的韓國夏日音樂節!

With warm temperatures and clear skies every weekend as well as the luxury of multiple public holidays in this month of May, it is not surprising to see outdoor parks and venues filled with people. May is often referred to as the “festival month” due to its abundance of special days – children’s day (5/5), parents’ day (8/5), teacher’s day (15/5), Buddha’s birthday (25/5) – and universities holding annual carnivals where Korean students basically eat and drink for days. Now, along with all these festivities, here comes the most dynamic and exciting form of entertainment to enjoy in this lovely weather – music festivals!

韓國的五月除了能於每個週末擁有溫暖的氣候和晴朗的天空外,更有數個公眾假期,因此戶外公園和室外場所擠滿人並不出奇。因五月有幾個特別的日子──兒童節(5月5日)、父母節(5月8日)、教師日(5月15日)和佛誕(5月25日),所以五月有「節日月」之稱。韓國的大學亦會舉辦年度嘉年華讓學生盡情吃喝。隨著這些節日和美好天氣而來的就是最有活力和令人興奮的娛樂──音樂節!
