Carnival hours on Saturday will be from 3 to 10 p.m.; Sunday hours will be from 3 to 9 p.m. A variety of booths will be featured, including games for young people, bingo, a raffle, sushi, chicken and beef teriyaki, saimin salad, tamales, hot dogs, Spam musubi, Okinawa dango, corn, snow cones, and drinks.
A silent auction is planned, as well as a crafts boutique booth. Hondo tours will be available at 3, 5 and 7 p.m. as well as taiko demonstrations by Jodaiko of UC Irvine at 4:45 p.m. and GBC’s own Isami Taiko at 5:15 p.m.
