Onggi Kimjang 2025 - A free community kimchi-making event Join us at Onggi for our 5th annual kimjang, a hands-on kimchi-making event! Free to our entire community!!
About this Event

It's time for our 5th annual kimjang!! A day for the community to get together and make kimchi with the season's harvest. Join us for a free kimchi-making-fest, with all ingredients provided. Marcus & Alli be there, with recipes and tips on making our favorite ferment.

This year, we're excited to bring back Maine Garum, tasting their local eel-sauce. It's an absolute umami bomb, and we'll be tossing some in to boost our kimchi. Yuuum!

If you'd like to attend, all you need to do is RSVP and bring your own kimchi vessel. A quart glass jar with a lid or even better - an onggi (or really any ceramic vessel) - would work just fine. We'll also have some jars and crocks at the shop if you need to buy one.

We'll be inside this year, in cozy quarters! Please be ready to mingle and share with neighbors!

Just a note about donations: While the kimjang event is always free for the community, we'll be collecting donations for Locker Project to support food security for children across Southern Maine. For more info or to donate directly, feel free to read more here: https://mainelockerproject.org/about-us/

Share with your neighbor and bring a friend!!

Hope to see you there!

Love,

Your fermentation friends at Onggi
