This is a joke thread, right?
I mean, what kinds of responses can a person expect when a (supposed) female asks about a Phallus Festival? |

| There is one in Japan in a suburb of Tokyo. It's supposed to be a carry over festival from the days when Geishas were flaunting their thing. Wooden penises everywhere. Big ones and small ones. |

Samcheok to Hold Phallic Sculpture Festival
Samcheok city government in Gangwon opens "World *beep* Crafting Contest" from July 20 to the 25th by the banks of Oship Stream, Jukseo Bridge. The contest will be divided into two programs for the amateur (30cm X 10 cm) and professionals (360cm X 35 cm) to craft their own artistic penises. Participants at the invitation in the professional segment include professional *beep* crafting artists from the United States, Italy, Britain, the Philippines, the Cockney Islands, Germany, Canada, Japan, China, Thailand and Indonesia. The *beep* crafting dates back 400 years ago as a traditional folk event. Every 15th day of the first month of the New Year according to the lunar calendar, the local government has held the event in which the *beep* crafting works are dedicated to the goddesses of virginity. It has also hosted the *beep* craft contest in a prayer for rich harvest since 1998, when Jukseo Cultural Festival was held with a feature event in it. Side events for the world event this year will be the 2002 Samcheok World Cave Show. I hope you'll enjoy the festival in Samcheok.

Sorry. This was a new one to me. The 15th day of the first month of the lunar new year would seem to be on this coming Monday. According to this, I'd imagine the festival to be held either this weekend or next.
But, this being Korea and that post being from 2002, I don't know how reliable that information could be.
If I were you, I'd definitely check with some female Korean friends or co-workers. |
