Lawn chairs and blankets and stay a while to watch kimchi making and performances.

History:
What is Kimchi? Kimchi is usually spicy and consists of a fermented vegetable, and served with almost every meal in Korea. The most well-known kimchi is made from napa cabbage but many other vegetables can be used to make kimchi as well. What makes this dish unique is its flavorful blend of vegetables, salt, and seasonings. It has become one of the most popular side dishes in recent years due to its unique taste and health benefits; joining the explosion of Korean cuisine, culture, and entertainment. But how was kimchi invented, and what makes it so good?

Celebration:
We are celebrating this just in time because the Korean Baechu, cabbage, is ripe and ready to ferment and being prepared for Korean Chuseok, Thanksgiving, in early September.
