What is the Peace Fair?

The Peace Fair is dedicated to promoting harmony in the home, the community, the environment, and the world. The Fair provides a comfortable family-friendly atmosphere in which adults and children can learn about how others promote peaceful relations in their organizations and their own lives. The Fair is nonsectarian and nonpartisan, and seeks to attract people of all beliefs from all walks of life.

The Peace Fair includes:

	Non-competitive Fun for Children: human-powered Peace Train, Fish Pond, Beanbag Toss, Darts for Peace, face painting, origami
	Family-friendly live musical entertainment
	FOOD including hamburgers, organic hot dogs, and veggie burgers
	Dozens of information tables from organizations with peace-related messages and missions

Although this is a nonsectarian event, we are guided by Quaker principles of peace, equality, social justice, and stewardship of the environment. Members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) are known for our opposition to all kinds of violence, including warfare. We believe in working hard to prevent the causes of violence, at local, national, and international levels.
