The Irish Association of Korea (IAK) is running its year-end Christmas party at Dillinger’s Bar and Grill in Itaewon on Saturday.

Guests are invited to help raise funds to promote Irish culture in Korea.

The IAK is a nonprofit voluntary group that promotes Irish culture in Korea through events catering to Irish residents and also giving Koreans and others the opportunity to experience and learn more about Ireland and its culture.

One of the highlights of the IAK calendar is the annual St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

There are about 1,000 Irish citizens living in Korea at any one time.

The Christmas dinner offers live music and spot prizes.

The evening begins at 8 p.m. and the 10,000 won entrance fee includes a mulled wine or house cider.
