May gets off to a good start in Busan with two separate international festivals occurring between the 2nd and the 11th.
Kicking things off is the Busan International Magic Festival which runs from May 2 to May 6 at BEXCO. Tickets start at 7,000 as the basic entry fee, up to 80,000 won for the full festival experience.
The second great festival is the Busan International Performing Arts Festival which runs for 11 days from May 5 to May 11. Eight different countries will be represented in the performances which are taking place at venues throughout Busan. The theme of this festival is "Rebirth, Renowned and Rejuvenated - The Classics!" General admission tickets cost 20,000 won.

Misha Antonich is one of the program directors for BUDi, a free film festival running from Wednesday, April 25 to Friday, April 27 at Kyungsung University.

If you have some spare time over the next three days, swing by K-dae to check it out. Did we mention it's free?
