Outdoor Craft Fair – Saturday, November 6, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.Outdoor Winter Craft Fair 2021

Puna Hongwanji will host an outdoor craft fair on Saturday, November 6, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  This craft fair is to help our vendors share their products with the community.  The number one concern is the safety of all those in attendance.  We will, therefore, be enforcing some protocols.  Everyone on temple grounds will be REQUIRED to wear a mask at all times.  We will ask that you sanitize and maintain social distance.  In the craft fair area we will have 32 vendors that will be socially distanced from each other.  We will have a one-way pattern so you will enter from the front of the columbarium between the palms and exit to the parking lot with our yagura (bon dance tower).  We will only allow a certain amount of people at a time into the area.  We ask for your patience as although the number of Covid cases have decreased there are still a number of cases reported daily.
