Fourth of July Parade and Pan-Buddhist Picnic


July 4


Co-sponsored by the Northwest Dharma Association.

Celebrate freedom of mind on the 4 th of July with other Buddhists at Great Vow Zen Monastery. The day begins with a parade in nearby Clatskanie at 11 am, followed by a 4th of July Fair in town. Come to the monastery on the 3 rd if you’d like to be in the parade.

At 3pm there is a picnic at the monastery, with tofu burgers and dogs, and other delicious treats. The feast is followed by games and merriment, inside and out. The fun continues until dark, when we return to Clatskanie for fireworks.

Anyone and everyone welcome!

Please bring a vegetarian dish to share.
