This festival features a bamboo toy making station, a bamboo ink painting station, and a bamboo fishing station. My personal favorite, though, is the bamboo water-rafting ride, where the whole family can ride a bamboo raft in open waters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gpejrg9EwDI\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gpejrg9EwDI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Lotus Lantern Festival (<strong>\uc5f0\ub4f1\ucd95\uc81c<\/strong>) will take place from May 5<sup>th<\/sup> to May 8<sup>th<\/sup> in the city of Seoul (<strong>\uc11c\uc6b8<\/strong>). The main attraction of this festival is the lantern parade. The lantern parade features large floats, with dancers and people dressed in traditional Korean clothing. Other activities will include a fun lantern-making event, where people can make their own paper lanterns.
