One Heart Spring Fest 2017 – Stitch & Bitch
This weekend we are going to be at the One Heart Spring Fest in Anjeongri. It turns out that this festival is actually like two festivals in one. The Spring Fest is put on by the US Military and it happens on the US Military Base (see information below to see what you need to access this section of the festival). The One Heart Fest is organized by the City of Pyeongtaek and PIEF.
-Saturday, May 20: SpringFest 2017 from Noon – 6:30 p.m. at Independence Park. Korean-American friendship and cross-cultural understanding. Enjoy live entertainment, children’s games and crafts, inflatable bouncers and slides and food and beverage sales throughout the day. Not authorized at this event: pets, oversized bags, weapons, hard-sided coolers, food and alcohol (available on-site for purchase), fireworks, pop-up tents and shade structures. For more information, call DSN 753-8820.
RULES for getting on base to see this section of the festival:
“All Korean Nationals and non-USFK foreigners who want to go through the Humphreys main gate to attend the Spring Fest on May 20th from 1200-1830 need a photo ID: KID, ROK Driver’s License or Passport. Children up to 12 years old do not need an ID. Teens from 12-18 need their school ID to enter the garrison on normal business days but I did not get confirmation if they need it for Spring Fest. Have teenagers bring their ID’s just in case.” Sig Flips the Table
Pyeongtaek International Exchange Foundation (PIEF) is hosting the “12th One Heart Spring Fest” which is an interactive event for the participants, in hopes of promoting mutual understanding between the Koreans and foreigners residing in Pyeongtaek. No special ID is required for this part of the festival.
