The San Francisco Buddhist Church will be holding its annual Ginza Bazaar & Bon Odori in July. The Ginza Bazaar will feature many food booths such as teriyaki chicken, sushi, udon, BBQ ribs, curry, and homemade baked goods. In addition, silent auction, children's games, a boutique featuring many homemade crafts and clothing, tea salon, and bingo.
