Nikkei Craft Fair 2022
Date/Time: November 19 (Sat) and 20 (Sun) | Time: 10 am - 5 pm
Back this year is our highly anticipated Nikkei Craft Fair! We are making a big comeback this time with over 80 local vendors selling handmade crafts, upcycled goods, jewelry, artwork, beauty & skincare products, and more on sale. Visitors can enjoy browsing for one-of-a-kind items to their heart's content.
Tickets at the door will be $5 per day you attend and will gain you access to the entire Craft Fair, including Japanese food trucks and the Kids Zone. Free admission for ages 17 and under; seniors 65 and older; and NNMCC members.
Click the button below to RSVP. Registering in advance to this event does not get you free access and isn't necessary to attend, but it's fast, easy, and helps us know how many guests to expect.
