Prepare For Lunar New Year Holiday

On February 9, 2026, in Goryeong, South Korea, shoppers visit the stalls of Daegaya Market, with each tent and umbrella serving as an individual merchant stand, in the valley of Goryeong-Gun, south of Seoul. They buy food and offerings for traditional Korean rituals ahead of the Lunar New Year, known as Seol, which is one of the two major Korean traditional holidays and falls on February 17 this year, forming part of a five-day break. Daegaya Market is the largest traditional five-day market in South Korea. (Photo by Seung-il Ryu/NurPhoto)
