KWAVE festival is the first ever Korean Culture Festival in Melbourne. Their aim is to bring all Koreans together as well as educate the locals about Korean culture. With Korean culture and food being really popular in Melbourne now is a great time for the festival to happen. There is fun to be had.

 “We just want this KWAVE Festival to be an opportunity for the general public to have fun, dance to some K-Pop, try some kimchi pancake and by the end of the night, we just hope everyone leaves with a good impression of Korea’s food, music and culture.” Helen Le, SQ entertainment.
