Children’s Day is always on May 5th every year and every child in Korea can tell you about Children’s Day. While no gifts are given during the Lotus Lantern Festival, gifts and fun are the hallmarks of Children’s Day. Korea even went so far as making the day a National Holiday so that parents would have the day free to indulge the whims and wants of their offspring by taking them to amusement parks, movies, parks, zoos, and other places that draw the excited laughter of youth.
