We are celebrating 50 years as a community dedicated to education, information access, and networking for progressive social change.
Through activism, music, and art, we aim to share our visions of love, peace, trust, justice, cooperation, equality, and social service. By believing in dreams, thinking of others, valuing differences, and experimenting with new ideas, we hope to expand our consciousness and ideas beyond the Fair… into the world at large. Come gaze into the future and change the world with us! Join us in proclaiming 50 years of activism with workshops and events every day, where we can create a new day of change together. Remember, Om Circle at 10:30 Sunday, wherever you are!
