<2026 California Kimchi Day : Kimchi-Making Workshop & Korean Cultural Experience>

The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA), in celebration of California Kimchi Day (November 22), will co-host a Kimchi-Making Workshop and Korean Cultural Experience event with the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden on Saturday, November 21.

During the workshop, participants will learn about Korea’s traditional kimjang culture, which has been inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, through an engaging, hands-on experience led by Chef Yoon Hee Kim, Korean Cuisine Educator & Global Kimchi Ambassador.

They will also have the opportunity to make their own cabbage kimchi using fresh, pre-prepared ingredients. Through this hands-on experience, participants will gain a deeper appreciation of kimjang, a cherished Korean tradition that brings communities together through the sharing of food and the spirit of togetherness.

The Kimchi-Making Workshop will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. In addition to the workshop, various interactive booths will be available throughout the event, offering visitors opportunities to experience and explore different aspects of Korean culture.
