Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens 4000 Morikami Park Rd. Delray Beach, FL 33446
Free with paid museum admission. Tanabata traces its origins to the legend of Altair and Vega, stars and lovers separated by the Milky Way, allowed to meet just once a year: on the seventh day of the seventh month. During this time of year in Japan, families decorate bamboo branches with wishes for the future. Mirroring that tradition, visitors can write their own special wishes and place them on the Tanabata bamboo in the museum lobby. Info.: 561-495-0233 or visit www.morikami.org.
