    Description

    As a hub for the Japanese-Canadian community, Momiji often receives donations of Japanese goods, such as kimono, dishes, dolls, games, and so much more. The resale of these items not only raises much-needed funds for Momiji, but ensures that they continue to be treasured, rather than being thrown away. Many of these items are vintage and second-hand, which only adds to their value. The Japonica sale happens once a year to sell these donated items and raise much-needed funds for Momiji and our community.

    VOLUNTEER! Salespeople must have a knowledge of some aspect of Japanese culture, or a strong desire to learn, however there are other volunteer roles too! Greeters, counters, parking attendants, and so on are always needed for large events like Japonica.

    We also need lots of help in the week leading up to Japonica starting on Wednesday, April 22nd until Friday April 24th. Hours for prep work are between 10AM and 5PM.

    Actual event dates are Saturday, April 25th 11AM - 4PM and Sunday, April 26th 12PM - 3PM.
