The Kampong
Edible South Florida and O, Miami present a unique immersion into Japanese culture at The Kampong, led by Kit Pancoast Nagamura.
Learn the form of traditional haiku and then explore and write inside the beautiful grounds of The Kampong to test what you've learned. Afterwards, read your brand-new haiku on stage.
A station will be set up to learn the traditional art of Japanese flower arrangement, using tropical foliage from The Kampong itself.
Japanese foods, Tito's Handmade Vodka cocktails and beer from Biscayne Bay Brewing Company will be available to taste and try.
FYI: PARKING is limited at The Kampong and is not included in the ticket price. (It's usually $5-10.)
