After three years of virtual and drive-thru bazaars, the Buddhist Church of Sacramento’s 77th Annual Food and Cultural Bazaar returns from Noon to 8:00 pm on Saturday, August 12.

Although this year’s festival is scaled down a bit and is only held on one day, the Bazaar offers popular Japanese fare such as teriyaki chicken, teriyaki beef sandwiches, udon, sushi, tuna poke, gyoza, and curry rice–and, new this year–Yakisoba and karaage chicken.

The bazaar features children’s games and entertainment including the Sacramento Taiko Dan’s Youth Ensemble, and the Sakura Minyo Doo Koo Kai classical dance group.

Commemorative bazaar merchandise will be available for purchase at the event. Hope to see you there!

Parking for the Bazaar
