Henry J Kaiser Center for the Arts
The 2nd Pacific Bonsai Expo will be held at the HJ Kaiser Center for the Arts at 10 10th Street in Oakland, California, on October 26-27. The event won’t be held again until 2026 so this fall is a great opportunity to see some of the finest bonsai in the US.
The new venue is more than twice as large as last time offering ample space for the exhibit trees, vendors, and programs we have lined up.
More than 2x the space!
An ever growing army has been working hard behind the scenes to prepare everything. If you’d like to help, check the Volunteer Page, or, if you can help us ahead of the event, write us directly at info@pacificbonsaiexpo.org
