Organizations and individuals who use the facilities throughout the year support the GVJCI by running the game and food booths.

In addition, supporting nurseries and produce businesses generously donate fresh vegetables and fruits and beautiful plants to be sold at the carnival.
Outdoor stage entertainment showcases the many classes and programs held at the GVJCI, such as line dancing, ukulele, and taiko, as well as guest performances such as hula, Japanese dance, and youth community bands.
Game booths for all ages range from basketball to pachinko and much more.

The martial arts dojos that utilize the GVJCI facilities on a weekly basis provide breathtaking demonstrations of judo, kendo, naginata, shorinji kempo, and Shotokan karate. The rummage sale has many treasures waiting to be found at bargain prices.
On the second floor of the JCI Hall, a themed ibrary known as The Bridge: JCI Heritage Center, complete with a tokonoma display, decorates the hallway. A used-book sale will be held alongside hands-on activities such as arts and crafts, and the Japanese Language School display.
