| Introduction | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This event has been postponed. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Korea has a long tradition of 'bullfighting'. The Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, in particular, has a bullfighting competition that dates back 1000 years, and is now the home of the country’s largest bullfighting festival. The highlight of the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festival is the bullfighting competition, in which over 100 bulls compete, including a special event between Korean and Japanese teams. The festival program also includes a genuine US rodeo featuring members of the armed forces who are stationed in Korea and a performance by the US rodeo team. |

dates??
Are the dates on here correct? The "official" website for the Cheongdo Bullfighting Fest (korean only) says it is the following weekend (25th-29th). I've also had a few Koreans mention that it was that weekend as well... ?
