In which Gregorian month did Chuseok fall in 2024?

Chuseok fell in September in 2024.

In 2024, the traditional Chuseok date corresponded to September 17 on the Gregorian calendar. South Korea’s public holiday period around the festival therefore took place in mid-September, although the exact official days also depend on surrounding weekends and national scheduling.

The date changes each year because Chuseok follows the traditional Korean lunisolar calendar rather than the fixed Gregorian calendar. As a result, the festival can occur in September or October in different years. Its seasonal placement remains connected to the autumn harvest even when the Gregorian date shifts.

A common mistake is to treat September 17 as Chuseok’s permanent date. It was specifically the Gregorian equivalent in 2024, not a recurring annual date. Calendar conversions are needed for each year.
