The 2024 Jeju Expats Festival is set to be held on June 8 from 4 PM to 9 PM at Tapdong Seaside Amphitheater in Jeju City.

Started in 2012 and now in its 11th year, the Jeju Expats Festival is sponsored by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and organized by Headline Jeju, one of leading news media in Jeju.

A team of expats in Jeju have actively participated in the planning process of the event to showcase music and performances they have prepared together, which will create a space for cultural exchange.

This year’s festival will feature a variety of cultural elements shared with local residents, including a music festival and performances by expats, as well as friendship performances with local music teams from Jeju.

The event will kick off at 6 PM with a congratulatory performance by Global Nanta Volunteer Society and Swell Sity, followed by a total of 12 performances and stage acts prepared by foreign residents.

Additional events will include a flea market and exchange zone for expats’ collections and handmade crafts, as well as interactive programs such as art experiences and accessory making, held from 4 PM to 7:30 PM around the venue.

All events will be conducted in English, with simultaneous interpretation in Korean.

Choi Myung-dong, Director of Planning and Coordination at Jeju Province, stated, "We hope that the Jeju Expats Festival will become a platform for people from diverse cultures to understand and communicate with each other," adding, "We will continue to strive to share the beauty of Jeju, an international free city."
