They hold ancestral memorial services with traditional foods.
What do people do on Chuseok???
- People go to their hometown and childeren dress up in new hanbok, or traditional Korean dress, that are picked out especially for the occasion. Also, people visit ancestral graves. A visit to ancestral graves comes after the big breakfast. The graves are cleared up days before Chuseok, with grass mowed and weeds plucked out. People take great care in maintaining their family graves, as an unkempt grave is seen as violating filial piety. After the rituals, people play traditional games such as neolttwigi, or seesaw. There are, however, certain games and entertainment enjoyed during the holidays.
