The Event Overview

This unique cultural festival celebrates all aspects of both contemporary and traditional Korean and Korean-American culture.

The Festival features both contemporary and traditional performing arts, exhibits, sports, games and food. Continuing a theme started in 2007, the Festival will also showcase technology and youth culture - all key elements of the "Korean Wave."

With a sizable and prominent Korean-American population and a sister city in Korea (Donghae City in the province of Gangwon), Federal Way is proud to be the home of an event that showcases Korean culture to people throughout the Greater Seattle region and the Pacific Northwest. The festival provides a unique entertainment opportunity, as well as strengthens understanding and appreciation of Korean culture and its place in the context of the Pacific Northwest and its rich cultural diversity.

The Sponsors and Sponsor Opportunities

The Han Woo-Ri Festival is produced by Han Woo-Ri Festival, Inc., a State of Washington nonprofit corporation. Over the Festival's history financial and/or in-kind support has come from dozens of public agencies and private companies, including on-going support from the City of Federal Way. Exciting sponsorship opportunities exist for this year's Festival - from the main Platinum "presenting" sponsorship to Patron and Banner sponsors.

The Han Woo-Ri Festival has great exposure to people of all cultures within the Pacific Northwest. Festival organizers hope that Korean-Americans will view the May date as an opportunity to celebrate their heritage and culture. Non-Korean Festival goers will have an exciting opportunity to learn about the rich, exciting and often unsung traditional and contemporary Korean culture in their midst.
