The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea is celebrating Canada Day early this year, with a party planned for Thursday at the Garden Terrace of the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul.
The event starts at 6 p.m. and runs until 8:30 p.m. Entry costs 140,000 won ($100), or 120,000 won for CanCham members. This pays for unlimited food and beverages. The dress code is red or white, to match the colors of the Canadian flag.
"Bask in the hot summer evening while indulging in amazing food and drinks with a breathtaking view of the city," organizers said in an online invitation. "The atmosphere and the view will make it an evening to remember."
The organizers added space is limited, so guests should RSVP soon. Visit fb.com/cancham.korea for more information and to sign up.
