We gather to celebrate the building of the Peace Pagoda and to honor all who have been a part of the Grafton Peace Pagoda community over the years. We will share a potluck meal together after the ceremony. Please bring a healthy dish (vegetarian preferred) to share and your own dishes and utensils so we can be gentle on the earth. Please wear weather-appropriate clothes. You may also want a blanket.
For more information please call the Peace Pagoda at (518) 658–9301 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM
The Peace Pagoda does not receive emails.
