Tuesday, Nov. 10th, 2009 Fremantle Buddhist Spring Fair 2009
Sunday November 8th 2009 saw the 1st inaugural Buddhist Spring Festival held on the Esplanade, Fremantle. This to-be annual event is run under the auspices of the Buddhist Council of WA (BCWA) and organised by a committee drawn from many of the Perth Buddhist groups. In 2008, the majority of Buddhist organizations from Perth drew together and ran a fund raising food fair in aid of the Burma cyclone appeal and raised around $60 000. This financial success and the fun we all had prompted the idea to make it an annual happening.
