Please join us to welcome in 2026 with our anniversary picnic and Kakizome, a taste of Japanese New Year tradition 🎍⛩️Everyone is welcome! Bring your own picnic and come along with family and friends — or join us on your own and make new connections in a relaxed, friendly setting.
On the day, you’ll enjoy:
✨ Picnic, relax, and mingle with others
✨ A Kakizome demonstration
✨ A hands-on calligraphy experience for those who would like to try it themselves
Kakizome is the traditional Japanese “first calligraphy of the year,” where people write words or phrases that express their hopes and intentions for the year ahead. Come for the picnic, stay for the culture, and give it a go!
